Onward to Ometepe!


I am on a boat!  Oh the joy!  This is awesome!  We are currently enroute to Ometepe.  It is scheduled the be a four hour ride.  We have started a little after 2pm, so we'll get to experience the sunset on the water.  I am having the time of my life.  I had some tuna and crackers, and an Oreo.  Maybe in an hour or two I'll have some of wine, and get this party started.  There was a friendly hotel "sales guy" named Willy at the dock and on the boat, who we made a deal and got a private room with bath for 10 USD .  The hotel is called Hotel Castillo in altagracia.  

Ashley on the other hand is feeling a bit seasick.  Interesting thing is the boat ride was Ashley's idea.  She just gave me a thumbs up that she is feeling better.  I'm glad about that.  The boat is a two story large ferry, maybe 75 souls on board.  It cost 4 USD, and you can get an outdoor soft chair for an extra buck.  We opted for the cheap route. Some really prepared or just lucky folks brought some hammocks and hung them up.  If I could get one of those for a dollar I totally would.  I love being on the water, and this makes me want a sailboat soo bad.  Maybe we will see some cheap ones for sale!
