Granada, Nicaragua

This is our 3rd day in Granada.  Granada is a beautiful city of about 200,000 people.  The first thing we noticed was how flat it is compared to Guatemala. It is also a lot hotter and much more humid.  The evenings are balmy.  Today the high will be 32C.

The streets are wide and well maintained. The buildings are colourful.  Yesterday we took a horse and carriage ride through the city.

I always have problems with the currency conversion.

$1 U.S. = 26.49 Cordobas.  I use my phone calculator a lot.A beer is 30 cordobas or about $1.13. A nice meal can be purchased for about 110 Cordoba or about $4.50.

I haven't done any shopping yet.  I promised to get some Nicaraguan products for some special people back home.
