So we have arrived to the island of Ometepe that is formed by two volcanoes, conception and madeeras. Glenn and I as well as Todd from Toronto are staying with a family at there house go team Canada! The house is cute, we have our own room with mosquito net and they cook us breakfast and dinner. It has been fun communicating since they don't speak English and we r not fluent at Spanish:) It's been a great way to practice and really get a taste of the culture. We arrived last night and went to ojo de agua which is a swimming hole that gets filled with water that comes from a spring in the volcano, very nice and refreshing.We then had a dinner with our family's:) Some of the group went for a 10hr hike this morning up volcano conception, not for us! Instead this morning we took bikes for a 30 km bike ride to and from Laguna El Charco Verde and did a hike through the natural reserve and had lunch. We went early before it got too hot! Now we r hanging in hammocks over looking the lake:) tomorrow we head to montverde Costa rica! Really happy we got to do this homestay it has been a really great experience. Hope everyone is well! Adios! That's all for now!
