| On Monday we headed to Juigalpa. Since it was Labor Day and I had the day off I figured it would be a good time to take care of some business for my wifes visa. One of the things that you need when you apply for a visa is police reports from everywhere you've lived since you were 16 years old. Because my wife grew up in Acoyapa in the Department of Chontales we needed to go to Juigalpa (capital of the department) to get the police reports. When we arrived at the police station we were told that we had to come back at 2 PM. Since that left an hour and a half to kill we decided to get some lunch. |

If you ever find yourself in Juigalpa I highly recommend the restaurante Palo Solo. It sits on top of a hill inside a little park. The foods great but the views are spectacular. The highlight of the park is the great cornholio statue. The locals were looking at us like we were nuts when I started taking pictures of the statue. I don't think Juigalpa gets many tourists...

| After lunch and before returning to the police station we had to go to the bank so Juniett could pay for her police report. You have to go the bank, wait in line for an hour, deposit 30 Cordobas ($1.50) into the police account, and get a receipt. You then have to take that receipt to the police station and wait in line again for another hour. When they finally called Juniett's name they took her receipt, typed a few things into the computer, and told her to come back tomorrow. Of course, when tomorrow came the report still wasn't ready so I'm glad we didn't stick around to wait for it. As of Thursday, (3 days later) they still weren't ready. It's good to see that the Nicaraguan government is just as effecient as the US government. |

The rest of the day was spent hanging out in Acoyapa. There's not much for a computer geek to do in Acoyapa so I generally amuse myself by taking photos and videos. I did manage to get a nice video of a spider eating a bug. Maybe I have a future as a nature photographer...or maybe not.
