Photos -- Levi y Isolde
Levi was truly a touch annoyed when I took this photo. We had just arrived on the Isle de Ometepe and were sitting on a hot school bus when I decided to take loads of photos of ourselves (see cute photo below). After photo number 10, and me declaring how I have totally won the tan contest, Levi made this face. For the politico wonks: Isle de Ometepe is one of the sights where the canal rivaling the Panama Canal is to be built. The New York Times is a bit behind on this scoop. If you're interested, read the Christian Science Monitor or the Guardian.
Levi and Alphonso the cabbie at El Fortin in Leon, Nicaragua after we hiked hills of garbage. By that point, we were all in a this-is-amusing-in-that-it's-a-story-to-tell phase of irritability.
That's me scrubbing Levi's embroidered blue shirt in a laundry basin typical in Central America. These basins are surprisingly practical, so long as you don't have a boyfriend scolding you for potentially ruining his shirt while he takes photos of you sweating over it.
Here's Levi in a hammock at the Laguna de Apoyo, just outside of Granada, Nicaragua. Laguna de Apoyo is this eerily warm lake that may be heated by lava at the bottom. Jacques Cousteau ventured to the bottom of this lake back in the day but never found the bottom, which is why we don't know why it's so warm. But it is loaded with sulfur, so we can only assume. It was also muy tranquilo, as you can tell by this studly photo of Herr Pulkkinen.

Hi guys! Very cute. And Isolde, you look JUST like Jaqueline in that photo where you are scrubbing (or cooking?). And, most importantly, when are you coming home??
Oh. I just realized that blogger is going to link you to a silly blog that my mom and I use to share recipes. I didn't mean for that to happen.
Geis secret recipes!!! Hooray! Now I have to pry Ella and Mama Jan for their super secret salmon recipes, and I'll be set...
