We arrived at the bus stop at the entrance of the village at 8 am. 2 hours (60km! ) to get back to Esteli where we caught the next bus to Somoto.
At the bus station in Somoto we talked to a muchacho who called another chavalo (guy) and finally we're following Elmer - our future guide- to his family's farm at the entrance of the Somoto canyon.
Elmer's father is Henry, a farmer cowboy who owns lands and lots of animals. His 9 children (5 boys, 3 girls) are almost all working as guides, or help the mother cooking and hosting the few tourists staying over.
The first afternoon we relaxed, I did my laundry, we enjoyed the farm animals company (Andrew was being chased by the turkey, was hilarious) and talked with the family. They are so nice and curious. I have to say, I have never had so much attention from muchachos before! The 5 sons hit on me!!! Each one his way! So funny!

We helped "sorting out" the red beans from their branches with all the boys and other guys for the community. Nice evening!
I slept like a baby.
The next morning we had a crazy amazing time in the canyon!! 4 hours walking, swimming, jumping, enjoying the views... incredible experience! So much fun!!! I only jumped from 4m cause I am a coward, but Andrew jumped from 15m and Elmer 20m!

When we came back, we had a good lunch (I asked a special treatment: no beans, no rice, veggies please!) 
Andrew hit the road to Honduras - which bordure was 6km away on the Panamericana that passes in front of the Finca.- where he wad going to dive before flying back to US.
I had a free tour to a nice bridge with Elmer, came home, went out again to enjoy local rhum with another brother and his guide friends (on the side of the Panamericana, about 3 km from Honduras... funny experience)
I left this fantastic place the next morning, driven by motorbike to the bus station by one of the brothers! After a long journey of 7 hours (lots of waiting...), I got back to León, at the Albergue where I kinda feel at home now!
