Precedented Travel in Unprecedented Times
Telling someone that you are going on a vacation to México City and Nicaragua is likely to elicit negative reactions. I know this because Nicole’s parents (Gath if you recall) flat out told her not to go to Nicaragua. The U.S. Department of State had given Nicaragua a Level 3…
Volver a Casa
Nicole estimated I slept about 10 hours last night — about double the amount of any other night on this trip. With that being said, I also appear to be developing a cold. There have been quite a few chronic coughers and sniffers throughout this trip, so it’s hard to…
Kayaking the Mangroves and Granada
Crashing waves didn’t keep us up at night, nor were we woken up by the sun. We were however serenaded by some screeching birds beginning around 4am. Between that and the heat, it is difficult to get good sleep. We got ready for our kayaking tour a bit groggy, but…
Bumping on Over to Ometepe
We enjoyed our last vistas from Habitación Cinco after having our breakfast and trying to catch a glimpse of a sloth. They were not active enough for us to spot them — apparently masters of camouflage and masters of sleep. Also as an aside, I counted the steps today. And…
Nica Asado
We have a sort of special cooling canopy over our bed that uses some sort of witchcraft to pull air from under the bed and then dehumidify it and slightly cool it before directing that air down at the bed. You don’t actually feel cool air blowing like you would…
Shvitzing at the Eco Lodge
I slept pretty well last night — occasionally interrupted by a large crash of a wave or a rustling of the trees in a gust of wind. I woke up somewhat naturally around 6am and explored a little bit hoping to see some critters, but there wasn’t much going on.…
Onward to Nicaragua
Nicole eventually figured out our next hotel yesterday evening. It wasn’t easy, and made our early wake up that much more of a struggle. We were in an Uber back to the airport around 6am. I had been able to check us in online and evidently our mobile passes were…
Cultura en CDMX
It was a very productive day for Bricole, everyone’s favorite celebrity couple. Our boutique hotel didn’t have much offerings for breakfast, but the neighborhood also has quite a few bakeries so this was not a problem. Then I suggested we try again to deal with Nicole’s stomach woes. Yesterday evening,…
Descanso de la Primavera
After a rather nightmarish March that had me overworked and exhausted, it was finally time for a spring break — which due to Nicole’s school schedule is unfortunately at the same time as everyone else’s spring break. While numerous ideas were fielded, few flights had any seats. We tried to…
