Once we finally pryed ourselves away from the swimming pool in Granada we headed into Lake Nicaragua to see Isla De Ometepe. The tiny island is formed by 2 volcanoes with an isthmus connectng the 2 cones. It was lush and our place on the lake allowed us to swim the fresh water surounding us, despite the presence of the world's only fresh water sharks. |

Again we were treated to some incredible sunsets. |

We even took a kayak out to get ourselves a better view. |

Copan Ruins, Honduras |
|

2 Quetzals at the gates to the Copan Ruins. |

|
Copan Ruins, they contain some of the most detailed carvings remaining from the Mayan age. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
They also have some very tall pyramids. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
But their bread and butter was carvings. |
