Once I realized that San Juan Del Sur was a place i wanted to stay long term, I rented a month to month apartment. It was a 1 bedroom and I payed $450.00 a month. This is actually some what pricey for Nicaraguan standards but I didn't mind because i was so close to the beach and in a state of bliss. Everyday i would wake up and go relax on my rooftop. It quickly became the place i would go to relieve stress and also plan my future adventures. If I was ever having a rough day I would come up here, take a long look at the town before me and get back to peace. From this rooftop my girlfriend and I also managed to start a hammock company. We would buy local and export them back to the states via our online shop.. It seemed like from this zone I could accomplish anything and nothing was out of reach.
