self-repair

Here are a few photos from my miraculously self-repairing camera.

I figure I must not have been meant to photograph my time at Inanitah (the new age community I left with my nerves frayed from incessant insects), and then leaving the island (amidst food poisoning) to explore the cities of Granada, Managua, Leon, Esteli and Jinotega (where on the last farm I worked I sufffered more food poisoning).

These 2 1/2 unphotographed weeks can be lumped together as: toxic time.

Aging man, tired and spaced, getting over food poisoning so intense that it brought on my first migraine headache experience, decides to go to Matagalpa to rest.

There I find my friend Mary (left), the volunteer who I helped escape Ometepe.

Fun finding her sitting on the couch of a hostel some couple hundred miles away from where I´d last seen her--on the bus I exited with the other case of said food poisoning. (Toxic organisms were a significant influence on my itinerary in Nicaragua!)

That´s the ever-gregarious Miriam from Holland on the right.

Hammocks are awesome, and make for pleasantly disorienting photography.

Half a face is better than none.

Hostal Buena Onda was so comfotable even the on-site bunny hung out with us. I did offer some nice petting as amends for the bright flash I subjected it to here.

Muy suave.
