Matagalpa Getaway!

Beautiful adorned Cathedral
Garden at our Hostal!
We finally had our getaway anniversary weekend!  We went to Matagalpa in the the northern highlands.  It was about a 3 hour bus ride from Managua, but only 1.5 hours back!  The climate was cooler, the air was fresher and the lush, green mountains surrounding us made us feel like we were back in Colorado, well almost!  The city buzzed with energy-people actually walked faster than anywhere else I've seen in Nicaragua!  We walked around, enjoyed the sites, people-watched and ate really yummy food!  Not to mention, all the wonderful coffee shops they had in town!  It was a great trip, minus Liz getting a sinus infection from the start and feeling lousy!  We will be back again when we are both healthy-to explore, go hiking and of course for more local coffee!

    Sounds like such a great trip! I'm jealous of both the mountains and the coffee.

    We just got back from our Vermont, NYC trip to send Tim off well. Now we are back and the house is very very empty. CJ doesn't know where to sleep. But it's all good. It will be a great year for him.

    Love you guys!

    That looks amazing--I'm with Aunt Bev, jealous of the mountains and the coffee! I remember Greg talking about how much he loved Matagalpa. I'm so glad you could get away for a while (and you look nice and cool, too!)
