Photo Highlights from Jonathan's Visit

My brother got to see a good chunk of Nicaragua - from my local schools to some nice spots around Managua to Volcan Mombacho and power outages in Granada - and I'm proud to say he never got sick and is safely back in the States.

First tastes of lobster at the local beach:


On the streets in Jinotepe - Gallo Mas Gallo sells electronics & furniture & such things, the name basically means "cock of the walk" but it translates directly as "the rooster more rooster":


Personally, Volcan Mombacho was my favorite part. I hadn't been there before, it was actually chilly up on the volcano and it was nice to be out in nature hiking around.

At the entrance:

And, here's a colorful stickshift in one of the buses that Jonathan took a liking to:


In conclusion, what's the deal with the weird monkey comments?? I will disallow anonymous comments if I must.
