In the morning we packed our things and moved onto the place Chris had booked for us from home - La Terraza, which had three private rooms on each floor with a really nice sheared kitchen, common area, and balcony with some wicker chairs and a hammock. The top floor had a view of the beach and city. We were going to stay there for the next two nights before moving onto the next community. Scott and I spent the day at the beach. Scott had left a note for Chris and Heather at La Terraza telling them to meet us at the beach. Around 5pm Chris and Heather arrived. They were starving and tired. We moved from the beach to the restaurant right on the beach where we had been swimming that day. We watched a wedding happen on the beach next to the restaurant and then the sunset over the Ocean. We all called it a night fairly early around 7 or 8.
The next morning we were up early and had breakfast at a cafe across the street. We then booked a cab, bought some beer and ice and headed out to the Marsella Valley Nature Centre that has the Disc Golf course outside of town. The course has 12 holes and the baskets are made of bamboo poles and round wire that is supported by old shrimp netting so it is more like a “basket” than a traditional disc golf basket. We played two rounds of golf and for the second the owner Vince came out and threw with us and explaining his property and living in Nicaragua. During our second round there was a pack of Howler Monkeys that were hanging out in the trees near-by so that was an added treat. We then walked to Maderas Beach, a surfer haven. We met an older couple who were Nicaraguan but had moved to the USA and had recently returned. They invited us to their home should we be in the area which was in the Northern country. They also recommended an all inclusive resort that is located close to their home, noting that they sometimes spend weekends there when they want to get away (we never had the time in our journey to meet up with this couple unfortunately). That day we body boarded, rented a surf board, and taught Chris the basics of surfing. A long bumpy ride in a cab home, we stopped at Suzanna’s to introduce her to Chris and Heather, take some pictures, and buy some fried plantain chips. That evening we were to go dancing with Linda at the Crazy Crab. We had some supper and then headed to the Crazy Crab. Unfortunately it wasn’t open and we didn’t see Linda, which was too bad since we were not going to be able to see her again as we were leaving the next morning very early to go to the Island of Ometepe.
