Cruising Along

The following day, we arrived in Puerto Corinto, Nicaragua. After breakfast, we got off the boat to see what Puerto Corinto had to offer. After getting through the large security gate (in place to keep locals from escaping or bothering people boarding or unboarding the ship), we shopped a little in the open air markets they had set up. Alot of similar hand crafted items as other places, but a little more expensive. We were very hot, but wanted to take a tour of some sort. We saw several tricycles that were being peddled around carrying tourists to other parts of the town. We decided to do the same. We took two separate trikes. Terry and Austin on one and Heath and I on the other. We had a nice, breezy ride through the cobblestone streets across the town to the beach. Along the way, we saw many different types of housing. Some pretty basic and others fairly extravagant for this area. Our driver (peddler) was such a nice young man that spoke very good English. He told us that he has learned through taking to Americans. He shared with us about his family and that his father was a pastor. He also asked us if we knew Jesus. We let him know that we were Christians. Heath shared with him that he and some of our church members had been there to build churches. As we made our way to the beach, Austin found a really cool shell...finally, a free souvenir! After getting back on the ship, Heath and I went to yet another game, Passenger Feud. I got to participate again and won a nice tote bag!
