Weekend in Granada

Granada, was my first experience of a true town where you could walk around comfortably. In Managua you pretty much have to drive everywhere. There aren't many parks or squares to hang out in, so Granada was refreshing. While we were there we stayed at Hotel Plaza Colon which is right in the main square. The rooms were perfect had air conditioning and comfortable beds and many books to choose from. The hotel had a beautiful lounge and pool area and a complimentary cocktail and breakfast..always a bonus! There is a sweet little euro cafe in the same block where you can get humus, lattes and other delicious treats. Also we didn't got here but I hear it is a must for breakfast "Kathy's Waffle House."

 It was my friend Jeanne's Birthday so later that night we went out to dinner at Trattoria Garibaldi which had delicious Italian food that was very affordable. It was pouring out so our hotel lent us yellow umbrellas. It was a great night out and we rested up for our adventures the next day.
