Hey everyone!

First of all: THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES! It made me very, very happy :) Thanks! :)

Then a short update for ya'll: We have left Costa Rica, sad as it is, and crossed into Nicaragua. Spent 2 nights in San Jose, and went to see a vulcano while we were there. Pretty cool!

Friday was my birthday, and I celebrated it on a bus, most of the time. 8 hours from San Jose to Rivas, and then taxi from Rivas to San Juan del Sur, where we are right now. Another paradise, but this time we're located on the Pacific side. We have an amazing view from our room, and can watch the beautiful sunset from our little balcony. It's aweseome :)

Went out last night for a bit of birthday celebration, and got a good first impression of the nightlife in this little town. :) Tomorrow is surf day; we're actually gonna take surf lessons here :) Yey!

We'll write more later.

take care!

Love, Ida (and Marte)
