Its been way to long since either of us have added blogs about everything and nothing. Since my trip to Costa Rica we had a few other visitors. Matt’s cousin and a wonderful friend from Mexico came for a few days, following that Matt’s dad came for a short visit as well. This was all during Samana Santa. We went to Leon and Granada, colorful colonial cities and enjoyed Good Friday processions and colorful sawdust carpets in the streets. We also showed our guests Volcano Masaya and Nindiri, the volcanoes we like to run up now and again. We walked around the craters as the sulfur created clouds in the sky. After that we took them to relax and go for a swim at one of our favorite weekend spots, Laguna de Apoyo. It was really nice to have some family come to see where we live and some highlights of visiting Nicaragua.
We just finished the mango season and are missing a fridge full of mangos. We became creative with the things we made, mango ice, mango juice, and for our guests I made mango pie. Of course there are no pre-made pie crusts to be had . . . .so thanks to Bittman I learned how to make pie crust. I can’t wait to try it with fresh berries (not to be found in these parts)
Nika is also missing those mangos so now opts for the pits laying in the street. She did enjoy meeting our guests. I think Matt’s dad actually took a liking to her. She just recently bounced back from her surgery.
