The Other Side of the Coin

On Saturday we left our Mundo de Fe sanctuary and headed towards the tourist town of Granada for a weekend break.  Traveling through the countryside we transitioned from the simple, evolving community of Villa Japon to the teeming, built up metropolis that is Granada, one of the prime tourist destinations in Nicaragua. We stopped along the way for a morning respite at Lago de Apoyo.  After checking into our hotel in Granada we went on a twilight boat ride through the nearby Isletas.  While some  refer to it as the "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" because of the lavish homes the rich have built on some of the islands,  traversing the water at sunset was relaxing and lovely.  We even had a chance to visit with the monkeys that inhabit one of the islands. For dinner we walked past the town square for dinner along a bustling street filled with outdoor cafes and lots of tourists. We fit right in.
