Relaxing at the beach in San Juan del Sur!

When arriving San Juan del Sur we found a hotel just a few blocks from the beach. This is the road to the beach.

On the way to the beach I saw a nice little house with a matching car outside ;)

My mother got her first taste of the Pacific coast of Central America!

San Juan del Sur also has a little top with a statue of El Cristo de la Misericordia that is 26 meters tall.

Along the beach are restaurants side by side. We found a nice place to eat a tasty lunch with a relaxing view of the beach ;)

After lunch we stayed at the beach to swim and relax until sunset!

For the sunset we found a bar with some seats on the beach. Of course we had to try out some new drinks :)

They had happy hour, 2 for 1, so why not try some more different drinks?

The sun was just so big and round that evening!

After the sunset we went back to the hotel to freshen up and get ready for dinner. I did not bring my camera for dinner, but we had an amazing dinner with entertainment. The restaurant had a cultural nicaraguan night where we got to hear live music and watch traditional nicaraguan dances.

Dinner at Fiorella's :)

A couple I met at the Servas meeting suggested I got in contact with their daughter. So last week I got in contact with Fiorella. We met up on Monday and spent the whole day talking, and I also got to practice my spanish! Last year Fiorella was a volunteere in Germany, and now a lot of German volutneeres just arrived in Costa Rica. On Friday she invited some of these German friends over to make a German dinner, and I was invited too!

The Gremans were doing a good job in the kitchen preparing a traditional southern dish. One of the girls is also staying with Fiorella and her family for one year as a volunteere.

We had a great dinner, and we agreed on getting back together for a Norwegian dish!

  

Fiorella would of course speak perfect German with her visitors ;)

Vielen Dank für das Essen, or in Spanish ¡Gracias por la comida!
