San Juan del Sur is a popular surfing and vacation spot on the Pacific, 140 km south of Managua. The town is set beside a crescent-shaped bay, whose northern end is overseen by one of the tallest statues of Jesus in the world. Between 2010-2015, four seasons of “Survivor” were filmed nearby. After so many days of bustle, it was nice to wake up this morning to the sight of both the town and inland valley spread below the hotel.
Pelican Eyes Resort is a sprawling complex built into the hillside in hacienda style. Getting around on a sprained ankle has been a challenge -- thankfully, there is a shuttle to take me to/from the restaurant at the bottom of the hill.
We all met for breakfast overlooking the bay, and then started our Board meeting, which ran from 8:30am - 4pm. When it was finished, the rest of the afternoon was spent drinking coffee, eating brownies, and swimming in one of the four pools! In other words, total relaxation! Tonight we all met for a dinner under the stars, while enjoying Nicaraguan cultural dancers.
The pace of today was perfect. And much-needed. Tomorrow will have a few adventure elements!
