Granada y Ometepe

I only have a few minutes to share as I am paying 1 cordaba a minute for my internet...A couple of days ago we toured Granada which is a beautiful colonial city. The architecture and colors of the buildings were something I had never seen--the city was full of history. While there, we went to see Avatar in which I immediately fell in love. After Granada we arrived in Ometepe where I am now. Ometepe is a volcanic island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. So far we have eaten delicious seafood and spent a lot of time in hammocks and playing cards. Tomorrow we are climbing a volcano with a guide, of course...I´m excited because towards the top we will be above the clouds (I´m also hoping it will be cooler up there). We got a real taste of the tropics today after witnessing monkeys playing in the trees and a parrot flying overhead. One valuable lesson I have learned is to not order spaghetti, unless you prefer ketchup to marinara sauce. Whoops. More later.
