Ometepe Part 2 (I got a job!)

Back to the story...
After a 1 hour taxi ride thru the island on very, very poor roads we arrived at our hostel which was called Little Morgans (http://www.littlemorgans.com/) The place is owned by an Irish/American who loves american football. There was a really cool Australian couple helping to run the place. We were only there two nights and have an incredible time. Anna and others that were staying there decided to hike up the volcano (9 hour hike!), but I wasn't feeling it and instead when on my own (4 hour) hike to search out some petroglyphs (ancient ruins). We then got to watch the 2 NFL games which was a treat. The owner, Morgan, also has a son who was turning 2 and we got to watch a somewhat traditional Nicaraguan birthday party, complete with a pinata.
Leaving was sad, but the silver lining is that Morgan offered me a job to come back and help him run the place for a few month. Right now I am seriously considering it!
