tacky beach town nicaragua style

another no photo day! Our last night in Omatepe was beautiful, we returned the bikes we rented in the dark to a shack down the road and walked back by moonlight. Omatepe is filled with wandering livestock, everywhere, on the beaches and roads. so last night we saw someone hearding horses by motorcycle in the dark which was amazing--a huge cloud of backlit dust with 6 or so galloping horses coming stright at us.

In the morning we got up very early and repeated the crazy commute that we took to get here..highpoint being that on the boat back we drove around a huge cloud of newly hatched flies and when we landed there was another cloud. yes, I did inhale flies.

We moved to San Juan Del Sur which is kind of a really tacky dirty beach town except nicaraguan style. We wanted to leave immediately but stayed as we had planned to hike and see petroglyphs which we couldn't find, our directions being ridiculously vague. so a somewhat disappointing day but we hope to move on tomorrow morning to a nicer beach town.
