Flora

It seems like Central America has some of the wettest areas and driest areas in the world.  The vegetation is remarkly variable as a result.

Beaches

Its been a few 2 months since I updated here.  Sorry for the absence, its partially because I´ve had more to do when working and partially due to time in Canada.  In the next week or so I am planning to add quite a few fotos and catch up on Costa Rica and Nicaragua.  I´m back in Honduras right now for 2 or 3 months (probably 3 as there are classes to teach in June and Honduras is in the World Cup (soccer) for the first time in 28 years, so June looks to be very interesting here!).  I plan to travel quite a bit in the time, as well as working in Tegucigalpa.

So far I have only made it to the Pacific coasts of the countries I´ve visited in Central America.  The Pacific beaches are rockier with bigger waves and don´t have the bright blue calms waters of the Carribean.

 In Nicaragua, most of the beaches have very few people and amazing areas to walk and explore.

 The tides pools at this beach area in Nicaragua were full of an amazing array of sea life and we spent a lot of time exploring.
