Campuzano was where we went today. We have been hearing about this natural spring that has super clear waters that are just gorgeous. I guess I had something a little different in my head going into this experience, but I wasn't all that impressed. It wasn't bad, just not the Garden of Eden like I was expecting. It is a natural spring and someone has essentially poured concrete to create three pond-like swimming pools. The water was clear, but there was still some debris and leaves floating on top. There were also a bunch of little fish swimming in there. These fish were not shy. As a matter of fact, if you stood still, they would come up and nibble on you. It didn't hurt but it kind of felt odd. Maravilla was telling us that apparently that is how they do pedicures in Japan. They just stick your feet in a pool of fish and let them knaw the dead skin off. According to him it is the best way to go. I got curious so I had to consult the Web. YouTube c
onfirms that this nonsense is true! (I've added a link in the Relevant Links section). Being a proponent of pedicures I refuse to mock what I don't understand. Who would have thought I would be learning about advance Japanese pedicure techniques in the middle of Nicaragua? I digress. This swimming experience wasn't all that transcendental for me. Besides the fish, there were a lot of semi-jagged rocks on the pool floors, and no chlorine. Paul and I weren't too sure about how great of an idea it was to share a swimming pool with hundreds of people swimming in their clothes. We've both been healthy the whole time and we consider this our final test. So far so good.
