Zip-Line's and Jungle Storms at Lagoons...

Hey Guys!

We are having a blast here! We are keeping busy with school but found time the last two days to go on a Zip-Line Canopy Tour... and today we went to Laguna de Apoyo... it was amazing to swim in this usually still lagoon as it was rocked with waves as a massive storm moved through (no worries parents... there was no lightning!)... but the water was warm and the rain was cold... and we were surrounded by amazing foliage in the spectacular canyon that comprises the crater lagoon!

Might I mention that all of this occurred whilst holding ice cold bottled Coca Cola in our hands... Yes... its still bottled down here... and it tastes better!!!!

Laguna de Apoyo

Zip-Linin'

Is that Katie Dempsey...Or George of the Jungle?

Is that Courtney Jaramillo.... Or a Chupacabra?

Welcome to Our Blog!

Note! I moved many of the pictures to the bottom of the page, under the blog posts!

If you are here to follow Bryan's adventure (after this trip) go to bryanthomasbaker.blogspot.com

The first two weeks of our trip will be spent at the New Hope Children's Foundation in El Crucero, Nicaragua! Here we will blessed to serve at this Christian orphanage and school!

For an idea of what New Hope is all about, please visit this website: http://www.newhopechildrensfoundation.org/

Then we will proceed to the colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua where we will take an intensive spanish program and stay with Nicaraguan families! We will also spend much time in and near Cocibolca (Lake Nicaragua) as well as on the dormant Volcan Mombacho, which towers over the city!

After a week in Granada we will head to Costa Rica, where we will also take intensive spanish courses... and spend much downtime on the BEACH!

After this fun-filled week some of us will return to the USA, and others will return to New Hope for two more weeks of service...

Then Bryan will be joined by others as he flies down to Lima, Peru... to eventually complete a 7 day trek through the Andes to Machu Picchu!

It will be the summer of a lifetime! Be sure to keep track of our adventures right here!
