Quite a day :)

We currently live with 2 elderly very friendly brothers who are actually both from Nicaragua ... but they lived here for a very long time now. They kindly opened their house for us (for us as long as its needed).

However today was a day of quite a lot of unexpected activities though!
We were invited by a family out of the blue to go to a beach close to the city; and in total 4 cars packed with brothers and sisters went.
We spent all day in 2 different places, one rocky beach and one sandy beach.
Once there one of them told us 2 of his younger members of his family drowned there  :( but he still goes there to swim.

A bunch of them also went harpoon-fishing but only one of them got any fish. .... and he got 14 in total !!!!
See photos below.

The beaches were in a fairly remote, uninhabited area and quite a distance between the houses ... and we even saw wild monkeys there !
In addition drinking fresh coconut milk and eating them...yummy tummy.

Another thing that struck me is the amount of "tough biker guys" that drives around the roads.... they are not Hells Angels but they look like they want to be. Maybe some sort of event taking place somewhere because they are certainly overrepresented on the roads.

PS: Here they also have day off from ministry on Monday's, don't know if this is a Central American thing since they did the same in Nicaragua as well.
