Day 8 - Rest Day

The rest day was fabulous.  It was a mix of discovery and resting.  The morning consisted of a walk around Granada up the Main Street to the shores of Lake Nicaragua and the back through the central town.  It was very hot with temperature in the 90's by mid morning.  The central square was alive and active with locals selling their wares.  And since it was Sunday, the churches were full with people singing and praying.  Here are some shots of the churches, buildings and market.

Trolley that takes you around tha central market area and business district.

From the street the houses and inns look non descript.  But many have beautiful courtyards that are the central focus of the place.  Much the same as New Orleans.

Open air market where you can get anything.  And I do mean anything!

The insect man...  He was walking around with a modified leaf blower that was fumigating buildings and streets sewers.  He wore no mask and was fumigating all the tourists and people as he walked by.

Christmas is really big here.  There is Felice Navidad blaring out of many stores and shops.

After the heat of the afternoon got to unbearable, I retreated to the beautiful pool area for the rest part of the day!
