Two retired teachers, solve daily mysteries while living culturally immersed on a biosphere reserve, Ometepe Island in the middle of a giant lake, in the middle of Nicaragua, in the middle of Central America.
About me: My husband and I are retired teachers in search of adventure and cultural immersion. We opted for early retirement and jumped into a new life on Ometepe Island, Nicaragua. We have an active volcano in our back yard and Central America's largest fresh water lake in our front yard. We live in a small all-Spanish speaking community. Please join me in my blog of our daily experiences on this wondrous island.
