Situational hazards of traveling in Nicaragua

Nicaragua is currently in the heaviest part of the rainy season which lends itself to certain considerations when traveling. A few weeks ago some friends and I rented a house on the beach in San Juan del Sur. We did some walking on the main beach but wanted to check out Playa Coco near where a certain television show is filming.

So we started out, not really thinking about the ridiculous downpour that happened the night before. And then we saw, this, ha!





We thought, briefly, about fording the river but then we were overcome by the image of ourselves and poor little hermanito (the car) floating our way to the Pacific. So we passed a perfectly lazy afternoon by the pool at Pelican Eyes.




San Juan del Sur is quickly becoming my favorite weekend spot.
