Granada, Nicaragua

Greeting from Nicaragua! Since my last trip was all history, I am going to try to make this one more  fun. Of course, some historical pieces will be tossed into the mix, but not as many.

I might as well start off telling you where I am staying. Instead of your average hotel, I have rented out a house-cave! Many of them are scattered around Nicaragua, and I rented one for a night. It is really cool to live in basically, a rock! They were hand carved by many hard workers and have housed over 3000 families since.

Tapas

A deep tradition of Granada is to serve someone a 'tapa' when they order a drink in local restaurants. Tapas are usually made out of cheese, sausage, or jam. If you get a hot tapa, it is usually a shell of meat with sauce and some vegetables. It is expected of you to take someone for a tapa if you wish to know them better.

It was very fun to visit Granada. I ended up trying a tapa, and they weren't half bad. I would have hoped for something more bread-like, though. One of my highlights HAD to be staying the stone-house too. I felt like I was a cave man. Better get some sleep before tomorrow.
