Say hello to the beautiful Leon Cathedral ^^ !! We will be seeing more in a future post.



These murals were stunning ^^, these pictures don't do them justice.

So unfortunately, this is the only picture I took this day. I somehow managed to come down with a cold while abroad and I spent much of the 1st in bed resting or just chillin out at our hostel (La Tortuga Booluda) which you can see above (don't you just love that it was mostly open to the elements, something that really can't happen so much in Michigan). So really, I guess this is a pretty good representation of our day. I was pretty bummed out, but luckily by the next day I was back on my feet & we were ready to explore! We also had the chance to meet a lot of other travelers from around the world, which was pretty cool. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is heading to Leon.

Who: Ashley & I
What: Beach day!!!
Where: San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua

This beach was absolutely stunning, and we had it almost entirely to ourselves! ^^ You can see we were there literally all day, which was surprisingly wonderful (coming from a girl who doesn't much love the beach). 








We ended the day relaxing, drinking Tona and watching all the professional surfers. Not a bad way to round out the day.

5.30.14.Part II

Who: Ashley & I
What: Climb up to the lighthouse
Where: San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
Captured: Canon Powershot

We made a friend on our way up ^^



The view from up here was incredible! We could see the entire city of San Juan del Sur ^^





My first lighthouse in another country!!!!!! This totally made the climb worth it, even though we were both exhausted and very sweaty. It is unbelievably humid in Central America, I could tell the minute I stepped off the plane that it would be an adjustment for this girl. ^^




This is an accurate description of how I was feeling at this very moment. ^^ Told you, I am so not meant for the heat. Next vacation better be to somewhere colder. Hahaha!

*Sadly this is the only picture I took in Masaya. The market was crowded & I simply didn't think to take any. As you can see here though, the murals were quite lovely here.
