Found Jesus, and more...

My arms were pretty sore from surfing so I decided to spend the day exploring San Juan del Sur.  First, I walked up to the Jesus statue (and the church underneath). 
What a gorgeous view.


This is where some rich Nicaraguans hang out...


Coolest grasshopper ever.

 I got a ride down the mountain from a nice couple from Managua, so I could explore more of the city.

I love the beach shanties. 

This has been one of my favorite churches so far.  So simple, inside and out.

I decided today would be a good day to buy gifts (you know, because I missed my entire families' birthdays).  The man at the cigar shop was very knowledgeable about Nicaraguan tobacco (but it was super hot in there).

I discovered a street artisan, Selvin.  His work is one of a kind and totally natural.  He threw in some earrings with the purchase of a necklace so I sat with him for over an hour while he made them.

Gelato!

Once again, love the colors.

  1. Found Jesus! How funny you are... The colors are amazing there as well. I think it's your mad photography skills that makes them "pop". I love the pink bags being carried on the man's head contrasting with the brilliant blue building.

    Can't wait to see your new earrings and necklace. Wow. What an adventure.
