Lots of crazy buses until we made it in a very crammed local Toyota Cruiser to Granada. Arguably Nicaragua's most quaint colonial town, its studded with cobblestone streets, bright walls and terracotta roofs, and patrolled by horse-drawn buggies.
It was good to be back here as I had spent a day here during my freshman year EWB Nicaragua trip, on break from completing Cal Poly's foundation for the health center in Camilo Ortega outside of Managua, the capital.
Found a nice backpacker hostel and a couple of dorm beds for $6, then we cruised the strip downtown; its an extra cobbly street closed to traffic and instead filled with tables from the rows and rows of restaurants. Great food, washed down with a Nica Libre made with Nicaragua's own Flor de Cana rum.
The next day we walked the length of the town, checking out churces, forts, and the beach on Laguna de Masaya.
Overall a very nice place to crash, and very photogenic
