Granada

Granada is a little Italy in the middle of Central America. A lot of piazzas and outdoor restaurants make this place the prime turist attractions of Nigaragua. This certaintly didn't make it my favorite place, but there was finally a town without a "ground zero" in the middle. Just when I arrived I ran into Loda and Caroline whom I dived with in Utila, Honduras. They are travelling the whole way from Guatemala to Panama City on a motorbike - impressive. I checked out all of the turist attractions - there are a lot - but the quality is not high end. The art museum displayed about 10 big paintings. Some I have to admit where really nice. The "Granda City Museum" consisted by at least a third about the history of museum itself. Then there were some trully impressive ancient statues from the pre colombian era. The rest is not worth mentioning. The colonial part of town has been renovated and now matches the glory it probably used to have. At the last evening Nick and Tad whom I travelled with in Mexico and Belize suddenly showed up in the hostel. Their - sorry guys - bum-like appearence was emminent. We had some fun in the evening and travelled the next day together to Rivas. From where they went of to Costa Rica. I was hoping San Juan del Sur will bring me some luck.
