My Favorite Place in Nicaragua

Is in the giant hammock in our living room!

Matt's boss gave us a beautiful hand woven "matrimonial" size hammock. The town he lives in, Masaya, is known for their hammocks so he gave us one as a wedding gift. Its so big that Matt and I can be in it head to foot, barely touching feet, its great!

It's my favorite place to be after a long day at school and a great spot to watch the debates.

Finally a lake to swim in!

Saturday we went to Laguna de Apoyo. Its a crater that filled with fresh water that is heated by hot springs really really deep down. There are some endemic species of fish that call the lagoon home. It felt great to go swimming in the lake. Nicaragua has many beautiful lakes that are unfortunately so polluted that you cannot swim in them. These are some pictures of our afternoon.
