What an adventure today! Woke up early this morning for an "all american pancake breakfast" at Terry's diner. I got the short stack, and was just able to finish half. Afterwards we took a minibus to mombacho volcano where we went ziplining! So much fun. We were told that there was an organic coffee farm with free coffee samples just two kilometers from the ziplining place. This was a lie. A half hour later climbing up steep volcano terrain in torrential rain downpour we managed to hitch hike the rest of the way up to the coffee farm. The hot fresh coffee felt amazing (and I am not even a coffee drinker). We hitch hiked down the volcano, and flagged down a bus headed to granada. There we walked around amazed at all the amazingly colored buildings, had a snack (nakatamala), and had a horse drawn carriage through the historically rich city. Took a minibus home to Jinotepe, and made korean food for dinner. Awesome.
