Day 100 May 8, 2009 (Fri)



On Friday and Saturday, we stayed at Laguna de Apoyo. It is a volcano with a gigantic crater that has been filled with water. People swim and kayak in it. There have been hotels built all along the land. It is absolutely beautiful and really relaxing. I basically laid on a hammock the whole weekend.

We met some interesting backpackers as well. One girl from San Francisco is a financial analyst or advisor but her company just closed. She decided to take the next two months and travel. Another girl from Germany got unpaid vacation for a year. Yes a whole year. She had been saving up money and now she is traveling the world by herself for this year. She's only about one month in but she already been to a few different countries. She knows 4 languages, lived in the Sudan when she was a kid, super impressive stories. By the time the year vacation is over, she will have visited every continent. Another guy and his son are traveling around Nicaragua for 3 weeks trying to find land to build a house on. I think they were from Iowa. The dad can buy land on an island and build a house all for like $50, ooo or something ridiculously cheap like that. It's just cool how you meet people that inspire adventure.
