Reunion in Leon

We were up early to hit the road from Jiquilillo before sunrise. Despite a couple flats and some 'traffic' (bike traffic jam!) in Chinandega, we made it to Leon by 11:30 am and checked into a hostel, happy to wash off the sweat from the hot morning ride. As we headed out to pick up some groceries later in the day we noticed a couple of bikes in front of the hostel across the street, and it turned out to be our friends Matt and Michelle who we had met back in Mazunte, in Mexico. For the rest of the afternoon and the following day we excitedly recounted stories from the road over delicious fruit-filled meals as we relaxed at the hostel together. And lucky that we had their help with the fruit, as it included a massive 20-pound papaya!Läs mer
