Our First Adventure in Nicaragua...Pochomil Beach

     I just arrived to Nicaragua on Thursday August 26th and the following day I went to school with Cullen and helped out in a 1st grade classroom.  That evening we had a party at our house and I got to meet some other teachers both Nicaraguan and American. Slept in and woke up to a sunny day where we relaxed and took it easy. On Sunday we got a taxi for the day. Our drivers name was "Victor" he took us to Pochomil beach.
     THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT NICARAGUA IS THAT THEY ARE ON "NICA TIME." This means that Nicaraguans are in no rush to do anything and a simple drive to the beach that should take 1 hour can take 2 1/2 hours.
     So we drive to this beach which starts on paved roads then goes to cobblestone, to dirt, to mud and then we turn around because we can't go any further and head back down the mud, dirt and cobblestone road to get there another way. We arrive at the beach and I would say this beach is a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.Better beaches to come...
