Market and Volcano
Masaya
Our first stop was the bustling town of Masaya and their famous handicraft market. Our tour guide, Edgar, explained to us about haggling and also advised us not to give money to beggers but to try to support the street traders. No sooner had we stepped off the coach we were surrounded by kids with pieces of coconut, cashews, pottery and all kinds of other bits and pieces trying to sell them. Once we actually got into the market ...
Living Like a Local

I had a blast the other night as we sang and I tried to translate the lyrics to Spanish (awfully terribly I might add!) It went late into the night and I hadn't laughed that *************G time!

There are no hotdog vendors, but there are some guys walking around with coolers ...
Day 3 - Shopping at Masaya
... mouth almost hits the concrete, I don't even bother stopping to negotiate. For the next 4 hours we crisscross our way through the market, passing the same shops 2 or 3 times, stopping periodically at the restaurant in the back to refill on beer and once to eat lunch.

We finish ...
