As we are having vehicle troubles (what's new!), Matt contacted the VW Club in Granada, Nicaragua to see if he could get some recommendations on parts or mechanics. And what a friendly bunch they were!

Not only did we get a recommendation on a mechanic in Managua, but we also got an invitation to a VW meetup in Granada itself and lunch in the town square.

Unfortunately we couldn't make their afternoon plans to visit the lake for a second photo shoot due to work commitments, but we had a whole lot of fun checking out some other VW vehicles.

And of course we just had to share this group photo taken by Nahum Nicaragua. What a classic shot!

We spent an enjoyable boat ride cruising on the waterways in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We saw birds, manta rays, monkeys and even a crocodile.
