Back to the Mainland (Leon, Nicaragua)

After a full week on Little and Big Corn Island, a flight back to the mainland, and a bus ride to the colonial college town of Leon, I feel as though I am back to reality, whatever that may be for me. The last day I spent in Little Corn kinda felt a little isolating. Manuela and I joked about being on Castaway and we even found a little lost coconut standed on the shore that we nicknamed Wilson. We didn´t end up going to Big Corn as we had planned originally, but went a day later and was still able to partake in the Emancipation of Slavery festivities. Therefore, the day prior Little Corn was stranded, and all I had were my ruminating thoughts of this and that. It is amazing how a gorgeous island can turn into a desolate land ready to haunt your mind with craziness.

I am looking forward to Leon, it seems like a tranquilo kind of place with a variety of things to do. Seems very eco friendly here with a lot of nature hikes and organic restaurants. I might try my hand at Volcano Surfing... essentially, I would hike up a volcano and then take a sled or a surfboard down the mountain side. Don´t worry Mom, it is safe!

By the way, my foot is healing nicely! I would say it is at about 60% recovered. Phew.
