This is just a quick post from our trip to San Juan del Sur. We "hiked" up to El Cristo (the statue of Jesus that overlooks the bay of San Juan). I use the term "hiked" very loosely since Joe hiked up to El Cristo from our house and ran up there when we lived there. We never made it up there as a family when we lived there (it didn't help that I had bronchitis for a month). But we didn't really hike up there. We got a ride up as far as we could drive and we walked about 1/3 of a mile the rest of the way. The last "block" of the trip up is REALLY steep (see photos) so even though we didn't hike up there, it kind of felt like we did.
The "hike" to El Cristo was high on the kids' list of things to do in SJDS. We got up that morning and went out with the Mobile Library to 2 schools just outside of San Juan del Sur, then we had lunch, then we went ziplining, then we went to El Cristo, then the kids played on the beach till it was dark, then we went to dinner. So this was a busy day to say the least. But even though it was a small part of our time in SJDS the view was amazing and the kids really enjoyed it more than I thought they would. No one asked if it was time to go and we probably spent about 45 minutes just checking out the view. Enjoy the beauty...
