Enjoy one week in a newly constructed townhouse in the Nicaraguan beachfront town of San Juan del Sur at the resort community Pelican Eyes (http://www.piedrasyolas.com/). The community is built as a mixed use vacation rental/ residential neighborhood carved into a hillside overlooking the crescent shaped bay of San Juan del Sur (about 30 minutes north of the Costa Rican border).

It will easily sleep six, and has two balconies with breathtaking ocean and sunset views. San Juan del Sur has great ocean fishing, the beaches to the north and south are rated as some of the best surfing beaches on the Pacific coast, and the food both at the resort and in town is exquisite.

The town and country are extremely safe (Nicaragua is rated as one of the lowest crime rates in Central America) and while travel on the local buses can be an adventure (for those that want the true cultural experience), direct transportation from Managua can be arranged.

Also, Ami Bera (Class VII), would be happy to work with you to identify other interesting places to travel and things to do in the country. Air transportation is relatively easy on several US based carriers. Enjoy this priceless adventure.
