Managua

After a 12 hour bus ride Hannah and I finally arrived in Managua where our friend Cyndi picked us up. We caught a cab to our hostel, Managua Backpackers, and then got some not so great Mexican food. We then met up with our friends Amanda and Michael who are both traveling Nicaragua and went to a bar where we heard a feminist music artist, Vaca Loca, play. Today we toured the market where children kept giving us palm frond artwork, and I would have bought a couple hammocks if I had the room...To cool us down, we drank cacoa out of bags and talked about going swimming but ended up taking naps in hammocks. Tomorrow we are headed off to Granada, one of Nicaragua´s oldest cities. I have learning some Nicaraguan Spanish, which is much different than that of Mexico. I can´t wait to see what this beautiful country has to offer.
