The Weekly Photo Challenge is: Today Was a Good Day.
Although the WordPress gang wanted us to try their new Mesh program for a gallery of our photos, it was so frustrating that I gave up and instead found photos that made me laugh today.
You never know what you will find on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. The photos prove that in the land of the not quite right, you gotta laugh. These photos were taken last week. So, for your entertainment today, I hope you have a few chuckles after viewing my photos.
How do you entertain the taxi driver’s two children on a long ride to Managua? You take goofy photos with your iPad.
Joe entertains a group of students at our La Paloma library. “Open your mouth as wide as the shark!”
This photo is so typical of an entertainment center in a Nicaraguan house. It just made me laugh. By the way, Marina told me the big TV doesn’t work so she covered it with a pretty doily.
My dog, Cappy, took a selfie with his nose just for fun!
While waiting for the parade to start last week, we wondered what volcano tricks our sleeping giant knows that we don’t.
What do you do with 100 people at a birthday party in a downpour in the rainy season? Maeva protects the leg of the pinata stuffed with candy.
Our local lawyer is so proud of his new lawnmower, that he pushed it in the parade. It’s a rare thing to see a lawn mower on Ometepe Island. I think it was the hit of the parade.
Have you ever seen such beautiful cow poo? Two little piles of cow poo were on our road last week with signs that said, “Help Yourself.”
Have a great day and remember to laugh!
Rewired and Retired in Nicaragua 
I like the Mesh gallery. It offers a much faster way to get multiple photos on WordPress in a slideshow. Yeah, there’s a learning curve involved and it’s not perfect but it can give your blog post an interesting look.
Thanks for your comment, macbofisbill. will have to try it on my iPhone or iPad. I didn’t have much luck with it on my Macbook.
I love the decorated cow pies! So you wouldn’t recommend the Mash gallery? Is it part of WordPress, or an independent program. I have not checked it out.
Annette, I think it was developed by WordPress for mobile devices. I always write my posts on my Macbook, and I had a difficult time ( impossible) to put captions on my photos and crop the photos. I’ll give it another try later, but I really didn’t have time to experiment with it.
Another delightful post….thank you for brightening my day!
So glad I could help to brighten your day. 🙂
You put a big smile on my face this morning! A great sense of humor will get you through a lot! Anita
So glad I could give you a chuckle! 🙂
Laughter Is good medicine and we need our daily dose. I vote for lawnmower man. That is a hoot. 😎
Lynne, the lawnmower man struck me as so funny, especially because his lawnmower was all shined up for the special event. lol
Laughter is such a blessing and so healthful as well. I especially loved the lawnmower photo. 🙂

Janet, I thoroughly agree. Did you try using Mesh? It was so complicated and I couldn’t get captions on the pictures.
No, I didn’t even try. I read about it last week on WP, but haven’t taken the time to try it. Not sure if I will. I’m thinking of changing themes and just looking at free themes and trying to decide which ones might be good is hard enough! 🙂

I was thinking of changing themes, too. But, after 5 years, I finally have the hang of this one. I hate the thought of starting all over again.
If you change themes, let me know how it goes.
I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to be able to try it and see how it looks before actually changing it. I’m a little apprehensive about it, but I’d like one that maybe shows off photos better. We’ll see how that goes. 😀
As I was opening your post I heard a little girl (perhaps eight or nine years old) laughing with her mother in the pool area. Her laugh was so contagious that I was laughing out loud as the girls mother made funny sounds and had that little one laughing. Laughter is good. We do a lot of it here. Thanks for the photos.
I think I’ve laughed more in Nicaragua than in my entire life in the states. It sure is contagious. 🙂
