Wednesday we went to the museum San Francisco in Granada. Granada is the colonial capital of Nicaragua and is one of the oldest cities in Central America. It is a beautiful city with tons of Spanish influence. Then we climbed a tower that had a view of the whole city of Granada. We went to lunch at Kathy's waffle house. We drove up to lake Apoyo. On the way to lake Apoyo, we got lost so Kirt stopped to ask some people how we got there. A random Nicaraguan man told us he would ride with us and show us the way, so Kirt told him to hop in. He went up with us to the lake and then back again. We were trying to find a lookout to the lake, but we couldn't get there without 4 wheel drive. We almost got stuck in the mud so we decided to turn around and just go to the lake.
This is supposedly a game that the indigenous people in Garanda used to play. Doesn't look fun to me.

Statues that the Spanish found when on some of the islands when they first came to Granada.

Swimming in Lake Nicaragua. It is the warmest body of water I have ever swam in. It had to be 80-85 degrees.
