I recently was in SJDS to teach photography, but while there I had my own time to explore some of the gorgeous views the area has to offer. I was lucky enough to have one of my students, Germán, show me around on his motorbike. Because of his willingness to show me around I was able to see much more and capture views I otherwise would not have seen. We went up to the statue on the hill twice and he took me up to the tower, which provided an entirely different view of the city.

During one of my Spanish lessons with Dinoraha, from Spanish Ya, we went up to Pelican Eyes and saw the sunset from their upper pool. This view had to have been my favorite because I wasn’t very high, but I could still see the entire bay with an unobstructed view.
