Managua, Nicaragua

You would never know from these photos that we were in a city that nearly everyone condemned as highly dangerous. We enjoyed this beautiful colonial style hotel (our only 4 star for the month!) and then high-tailed it out of Managua the very next morning.

apoyo, Nicaragua

This volcano crater lake had the cleanest water in Nicaragua. To swim in it was healing -- so silky, clean, fresh, soulful, ancient. The eco-lodge was a real trip -- mosquito nets and lizards everywhere.

Granada, Nicaragua

This day trip was full of adventure. A huge army truck takes up almost stright up. This is the volcano that created much of lake Nicaragua, and the 365 (!) islets, which you will see. Weentered a rainforest at the top, with our young cheerful guide.
