From Matagalpa we headed south to Granada (and with lots of luck we were only stopped twice by the police and both were routine traffic stops!) We only spent one night in Granada, as we wanted to get to the beach the next day, but we had a great time while we were there. We took a horse drawn carriage tour of Granada and then had dinner on one of the major pedestrian streets right off the central park. (too many people and vendors for my taste though). I admit, I had been to Granada once before and we walked everywhere. I think the carriage ride was the much better way to go. Here are some pictures from that part of the adventure:

Well I had planned on continuing the post with the rest of our journey to San Juan de Sur, but you will just have to wait as it is taking too long to upload the pictures and I am out of time at the cyber cafe.
Keep making good choices and stay alert for the next post with beach pictures!!!! Love you all!
So glad to see that you are having a great vacation with your family. From all the photos and comments, seems you are seeing and enjoying all the sites your mom mentioned. Hope you are continuing to have a wonderful trip with your family. Enjoy the time together and I'll await seeing the photos from the beach and house you're staying at.
ReplyDeleteMade it safely back home. Had a wonderful time in Nicaragua. Thanks for all your assistance in planning the trip, translating, introducing us to your wonderful home stay family, and letting us see a little of your world. I know that real life, for you, is a lot more simple and less extravagant but it was fun to be able to share a few of the nicer things available in Nicaragua, besides we were on vacation so why not splurge just a little!
