Round 2 and Sunday Funday

I think we stayed in Leon just long enough to hop the bus to Grenade. Even the statement "hop the bus", meant we scoured the streets to find the local bus. You will never forget the little things like jamming into a bus that was over crowded in heat that was over 30 degrees Celsius! By no stretch of the imagination is it the fondest memory of my travels but definitely one I will not forget.

Volcano Masaya

Grenade is a beautiful town with lots to see and do. We took the opportunity to visit a National Park - Volcano Masaya. This is the first active volcano that I had ever seen, and to be honest I found it very intimidating. After we all signed our waivers declaring that we had full knowledge that it was alive, (so if we died they were not responsible), we started our trek up the hill. The day was like every other day... hot and humid. Luckily for this softy ten minutes into the hike we were picked up and whipped up the hill in the back of a truck wooo! You could feel the heat from the volcano and the smoke coming out it was like staring deep into the depths of Mount Doom (Lord of the Rings).



Sunday Funday Ben and I

Playa Del Sur is a trip all on its own! The beautiful beaches, great sea food, exciting hostels and oh yea Sunday Funday! Bordering Costa Rica you don't have to imagine too hard what the picturesque weather is like there. By this time in my trip I was stinky, tired, dehydrated and ready for my bed. Ben would have none of it! For days we had talked about Sunday Funday and it was now the rally cry. The night before the extravaganza we dinned on lobster tails and a delightful bed of rice for the low low cost of $5..Still cant believe that. Sunday Funday is a Hostel crawl pool party. Imagine 6 or 7 hostels lined up all with pools and you go around and drink in all of them with over 100 other travelers. I've never been to a Hollywood pool party with rich people but I like to imagine that's what it would be like. The drinks are flowing, the music is pounding, everyone in bathing suites and enjoying themselves to the fullest! Yes it is a must do on your list of things to do. Absolutely!   I would like to take this time to Give Ben a shout out, His nonchalant and cavalier attitude toward world travel is remarkable no wonder he is President and CEO of 0- Foxtrot Given. Your a beauty!
