It takes two to whisper quietly

After breakfast we went on a tour of the city. We took a horse drawn carriage to some of the preserved buildings in Granada. We went up in an old watch tower that had cut outs in the building for rifles and a pit that they used to throw the prisoners in. We got to see churches that went back to the 1500s and their old train station.

After the tour we did a boat tour of los isletes, which are this little islands in the Nicaragua lake (which is the only lake in the world with freash water sharks). There were some fabulous houses on the islands and some look out points to protect them from pirates and such. We also saw a monkey fight!

Then we drove up to a volcano (I cant remember the name) but it was basically a giant crater that smelled like sulfur. We had to clim up 177 stairs to see into the crater but it was too smokey. The volcano hasn't been active in a long time though.

After that we went to Masaya , which is a small poor town that has a cheap market. We spent a few hours shopping then went back to Granada. It was Dionne's birthday and they took us to this fancy restaurant. After dinner we has wine night in one of the suites at the hotel then we walked around Granada. The town was beautiful and well kept, I felt like a real colonial woman.
