Mi Loca Aventura de Nicaragua el Día 3 (Part 1)
Adrienne and I had planned to leave for San Juan del Sur as soon as we woke up, however we both felt as though we needed some more time in this fascinating place. So, after breakfast, we set off to explore the parts of Granada we missed the day before.
Everywhere we looked were perfect backgrounds for self portraits. I happened to be wearing a beach cover up, as it was the lightest thing I had with me to combat the 110% humidity. I love how the pink color of it sharply contrasted with the colors of the city.
Here are 2 of my favorite photos of myself from the day:
Soon we found ourselves back in the center of town and wishing that we could spend another couple of days in Granada, nonetheless we were equally excited to head to the ocean for some fun in the sun. Not before we took some more photos though!
The main street in Granada. Only pedestrians are allowed
on its cobblestones.
Parque Colón
Me in Parque Colón.
One of the myriad of colonial home's. I adore open window
photos, as they always make me wonder what exactly is
happening behind them at that moment.
Parque Colón with La Catedral in the background.
Granada's version of a taxi.
More vibrant colonial homes.
Time was moving by way too quickly and I still had one more crucial thing that I needed to do before we left for our next destination, thus we headed back to our hotel...
While in Granada, do as the Nicaraguans do; me enjoying a siesta in the hotel's hammock.
And the only thing on my mind during the siesta was the
fragrant smell of Nicaragua's national flower the sacuanjoche
(otherwise known as plumeria) that was all around me.
After my brief rest, we then we left for San Juan del Sur. It would have been about an hour's drive, except we kept getting stuck behind trucks and buses on the 1 lane Pan-American "highway." We also got stopped by the police again. This time I feigned to speak Spanish and the officer became so frustrated with trying to unsuccessfully get a bribe out of us that he let us go after about 10 minutes.
This is a perfect example of one of the "road blocks" we
constantly incurred.
But, with the scenery as lovely as it was, I do not think we would have been upset if it had taken us 5 hours.
On the way to San Juan del Sur.
