The Weekly Photo Challenge is: A Good Match
Ometepe Island has been a good match for us to retire abroad because…
Our island and volcanoes go hand in hand.
Charco Verde lagoon is in harmony with nature.
Semana Santa pilgrimages are in accord with Catholic traditions.
Children blend with parks and playgrounds.
Cats and hot tin roofs go together.
During the rainy season lightning and thunder partner for excellent shows.
Butterflies go well with watermelon.
Hand processed cocoa beans and hot chocolate compliment each other.
During the dry season water pumps and irrigation pipes work together to provide much-needed water.
Children and my elementary school library books synchronize reading and pleasure.
Weddings and balloons conform with love and marriage.
Ancient forts and hills consort to provide protection and security.
Ferries and water equal transportation to and from Ometepe Island.
Who needs school busses when grandfathers and motorcycles get together?
I am so sorry. I sent you an email by mistake…..I always forward your emails to my best friend , but I forgot to change the address….regards, Laura ….bye

No problem, Laura. I sent it to the trash.
I’m always amazed when I see Central American children riding on a motorcycle crossbar. In Phila you wouldn’t get 1 mile without being arrested!
Haha, exactly Tom. There are many different unspoken rules here for foreigners and locals.
Theres nothing like a great match!!!!
I leave here next week to live in Antigua , Guatemala for a month , then off to live in Lake Atitlan for a year ……unless that changes ..
I love San Miguel ,,in the Azores and will back here in August …going to Santa Maria Island for a music fest ,,and to shoot a destination wedding here in San Miguel..
..but an odd quirk happened that was out of my control …
so… off I go ,,with mom and dog ……..to another place …

Life is unpredictable , and unexpected things happen all the time ,,,
Im surrendering …and
