This is the surf beach known as "Santa Catalina." Just a quarter of a mile away is a world famous beach for surfing. I rented a board (la tabla de surf) and immediately the surf went away. You can see how smooth the ocean water is. Even so, it was pleasant to roll in the surf with the warm sun and easy waves. The same thing happen the next day-no surf. I was content to view the surf photos in the dive center.

This fellow is a common site in CAmerica when out of the city. Both adults and children ride. Only in Nicaragua did I see horses pulling carts. It is a grand site to see folks riding at a gallop along the road!

I have no idea of the idea here. This is not my work only because I didn´t think of it first!

This is our beach gang at Santa Catalina. Everyday the girls would act as if the beach was a totally new experience in their lives and relish every wave.
