Granada, Nicaragua

I went to Nicaragua about a month ago for Holy Week. Sorry the pictures are so late. I´ve been in the midst of a move and planning a conference for about 100 people. More on those to come! For now, here are pictures from the trip.

This is the view of Granada and it Cathedral from the tower on another church. Thanks to Erin for the picture!













Another church in Granada.











Granada is on Lake Nicaragua. In the lake, there are a lot of little islands. We toured the islands on a boat. Some islands were so small that people buy them and put houses on them. The yellow house had a Maryland flag in the front.

We stopped at one island where monkeys boarded the boat to look for food. Here´s Erin and a monkey getting friendly with her. Don´t worry, I didn´t touch any of them!

On the way back home from Granada we stopped in a town that is known for it´s artisan market. After a lot of looking for it, we found it. Here´s one of the stands in that market. Notice the preserved frogs.

While waiting for any bus to leave, vendors usually board the bus or try to sell things through the window. This woman was selling watermelon.
