Big Brother Adventures

Karl´s new activity


Klaus, Monika & Karl

A great time spent with my brother! He had quite the adventure getting here...plane with mechanical difficulties, late panga, rain...but he made it and gave himself the opportunity to expereince life on Little Corn at Casa Sunrise. We passed the time talking, reading, walking and just enjoying the moments. We had the chance to have FRESH lobster that Cheryl had bought! (Thank you Cheryl!). It was really delicious and I am looking forward to eating more of it.
We also snorkled and saw a huge nurse shark, squid and this really beautiful fish that had purple and yellow ¨wings¨. It was awesome to have the opportunity to share this with Klaus. I thank him very much for making the effort to see our world and I am sure that he will remember this journey for the rest of his life!
Heiko will be returning some time next week and Karl and I have the chance to move to Big Corn to mamnage a hotel for about a month. We are discussing our options and letting ourselves go to see what door opens next for us. We have lots of ideas & directions, we are letting the opportunities present themselves to decide which door we go through!
Thanks for everything Klaus & Norm!
Cuidate, Rasta Mo

Quebecois

J´ai ete tres surpris de oir 3 Quebecois arriver a Casa Sunrise láutre matin. Ils ont passe ice 5 jours. Ca ma fait de bien de parler francais et de prendre des nouvelles du Quebec.
Martin, Guilaume et Caroline sont venu prendre un petit break sure Lttle Corn avant dáller sur líle de Ometepe faire du voluntariat et vivre dans une famille (pueblo hotel). Pour eux cést une facon differente de voyager et de pouvoir vivre et experimenter ce que les gens vivent tout les jours. Ils ne savent pas encore ou ils aideront mais lórganisme (La Red) qui les recerra sóccupera de les placer la ou il ya un besoin. Nous ferons des recerches pour avair plus de renseignements pous les gens que ca interesent.
Ometepe est une magnifique ile situe dans e lac Cocibolca pres de Rivas et San Juan del sur (une des plus grande reserve déau potable en ameriqu centrale) elle y compte deux volcans un sol riceh, on y cultive plantain, riz, tabac, sucre, maiz, cafe. Cette ile est probablement ce quétait le Nicaragua dans les annees 1600. Saviez vous que la route maritime reliant llátlantique et le pacifique devait ce faire au Nicaragua par le lac Cocibolca et le Rio San Juan. a lépoque les Americans ont achetes une compagnie francaise en fallite qui avait deja commence le canal de Panama. Les Americans ont abandonnes ce projet mais non sans se donner le droit a vie de le faire.
La saison des pluies est arrivee. Il nýa pas vraiement de patern sure les horraires de pluie. Il a plue pendant 3 jours et au moment our jécris il fait beau de puis 4 jours et beaucoup de vent.
Revenez nous voir, Karlitos.

In the past few weeks we have had quests from Holland and Quebec. It was fun to have some fellow Canadians here at Casa Sunrise. We have been here for over 2 months now and have had a few nights without guests. It is really amazing how time flies and what our experience has been.
I have now completed my Open Water Diver course. It is awesome to dive and I am looking forward to the first dive that Karl and I do together. I think it will be a great experience. On one of my dives during my course, a nurse shark came a bit too close for comfort and was checking me out to see what I was doing in her territory. It is all good as she decided I was not a threat or her dinner and she continued on her way.
We also had some great news that my brother will be coming to visiti us from July 11-18. We are excited to have him here and to experience our world for a short time.
It definately looks like the rainy season has arrived. As Karlitos mentioned, there is no real pattern to the rain. You can be looking at the sky and because it has been so windy, you can see the clouds full of rain come onto the land. It is pretty awesome to see. With the wind, it is also keeping the biting bugs away!
Until next time, cuidate! Rasta Mo
