San Juan del Sur, Carita Feliz

We have gone to Carita Feliz twice this past week, and plan on going again a few times this next week. I want to have some afternoons where all I do is chill though. I didn’t plan on being so busy while I was here, but it’s cool to have stuff to do. The first time we went to CF the children were real shy, but Thursday we were welcomed with the kid’s spanish-accented voices: “We waiting for you!”

The Spanish school that I’m at is awesome. The students are all cool and we hang out and get along well. It’s also nice to have some friends that speak Spanish fluently and English. This weekend we went to a place called San Juan del Sur. It’s the hub of Nicaraguan beaches (on the west coast). It’s about 3-3.5 hours by bus from Granada, because you have to transit through another town called Rivas. We stayed in hands down the nicest resort I’ve ever been too. It makes it easy when I’ve been to maybe one resort in my life… but anyways this place was legit. The beach that we went to was called Cocoa Beach. It wasn’t anything real special, but I’m used to Galveston beaches so it was great for me. The others were disappointed. I came back tonight with one of the others because I’m feeling a little enfermo, but not too bad. I just didn’t feel like dragging everyone else down with me when they wanted to go out dancing and stuff.
