Today is Sunday, I went to Granada by bus. It only costs 15 cordobas (60 cents) to travel the 20km distance.

The bus is filled to full capacity.

I don't have the other photo because I was standing and it was quite rough. I went for a stroll through the farmers' market. It's always interesting to see meat at room temperature.

The market is packed this Sunday.


People can buy used clothing. Four pieces for $1.60 CAD.
I bought myself some used stockings for 40 cents.

I drank an excellent orange juice made with three juicy oranges for 80 cents.

It's so delicious!!! How to prepare a fish in seconds.

I ate four strawberries for 40 cents.

Granada is a very beautiful colonial city founded by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. The cathedral is magnificent.


The interior is also majestic; the ceiling frescoes have just been restored.


I went to eat at a Chinese restaurant and I happened to see my friend Alicia's husband. What a coincidence!

My plate is really full. I paid 200 cordobas, or $8 CAD. I took my leftovers home to give to an old lady I met later! I'm strolling along the shore of Lake Nicaragua. It looks like the ocean! Thankfully, the project to build a canal to rival the Panama Canal was abandoned by Chinese investors. It would have had repercussions on the country's main source of fresh water.

In the lake there are bull sharks that periodically swim up the San Juan River . I can once again observe the Mombatcho volcano in the distance.

I decide to get home more quickly by using a taxi service.

This car costs less than my bike! I paid $8 CAD to get home!!! That's $7.40 more than this morning, but it was faster and very interesting to talk with my driver Victor.

Another beautiful day, I'm still alive!!! Thank you!
