Los Congos

Cindy, Skye and I visit the lots on Wednesday, Mother's Day here in Nicaragua. A big holiday, mothers run the country, particularly in Granada. Because my truck is not 4-wheel drive, and because it has been raining and because there is almost no one at the site because of the holiday, we decide not to try to drive the new roads up to lots. So we end up with a pretty amazing 2 1/2 hike. We see one howler monkey but their loud calls fill the the crater for much of the hike. They sound incredible.

The road leading to two of our lots. Things are happening. Obviously this project and undertaking has gotten much more real for Cindy. Things are a little behind our best case scenario, but I expected that, having dealt with both construction and working south of the border. In fact, those things taken into consideration, we're doing quite well. Check out the development, Los Congos. It's getting in the press these days as being one of the best developments in the country, paticularly about the environment and the use of local materials and labor. Again all very exciting.
