Trip to Leon and the circus?

Resting beside a little mountain stream
Peluche and me on a hike in June
Cute little furry donkey
Naptime in my house, all animals are welcome, pigs, dogs, chickens, ducks, cats, etc.

My pig, his name is Piglet, its very amusing how they pronouce it here, unfortunately he´s not this cute anymore, and he´s going to grace someone´s dinner table for Christmas
Yes, I agree this is weird, but I was in Managua for a doctor visit and on an early morning walk I ran a across a circus that was visiting town and wanted to take a picture of the animals outside to show to the kids in my community, but was invited in by the workers to take some better closer shots- here´s a tiger staring me down

The final days of my camera, before its untimely drowning in Sept., were spent in Leon which is a beautiful old city with many cathedrals and is close to the beach. I just spent 2 days there, but it was very relaxing. I´m hoping to have to have some new pictures to add as a very nice person has sent me another one. The people here have definately missed my taking pictures for them. They´re always asking when I´m going to have it again. Alright thats it- oh here are some other random older pictures too. This posting pictures takes forever!
