At night, streets in Granada take a different character.
Familiar places look different and different places become familiar.
Granada is about to become past tense, about to become another disappearing city in the rear view mirror. Nicaragua is still developing, still a country where a privileged class picks the best fruit off the trees and sleeps on clean sheets.
This evening the cities poor people come out of their houses and rock in wicker chairs on their front porches. Country people are cooking tortillas on front yard fireplaces and tending to the chickens, goats and pigs that sustain them through political upheavals.
This trip winds to an end but as long as reasons to go outweigh reasons to stay home, Scotttreks postcards will keep telling their small quiet stories.
Nicaragua, a place I wasn’t certain I wanted to see, has been a surprise.
I would come back again.
Making new places your friend is an endearing part of traveling.
There is a bit of Columbus in all of us once we let ourselves sail.
Looks like a clean…although maybe poor country…at least by our standards, but then again maybe big shiny buildings are not all they are cracked up to be? Lol
always glad to go and always glad to come back to U.S. Every morning people in the Historical District swept their sidewalks. as clean or cleaner than other central and south american countries that have a lot more resources.
Another successfully documented international trip. Keep up the good work.
thanks pat – Tucson is warmer than Albuquerque. Thanks for the thumbs up.
