Nicaragua

Today our Port of Call was San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.  The ship had to drop anchor out of the marina and we took Water Shuttles in to shore for our excursions.  The wind was blowing and the water was very choppy, but we made it to shore and got on our bus for a 90 minute trip to the town on Granada.  Our tour guide was very informative and spoke English very well.  He pointed out the Sugar Cane fields along the way.  Sugar Cane is a large part of the economy in this part of Nicaragua.

In the town of Granada you can still see signs of destruction caused by the political unrest in that area. 

We had a nice lunch while there.  The little kids were quite pushy with their trinkets for sale, but Steve and I came away without buying anything more for me to dust. 

We stopped at the beach with a great view of two volcanos on the way back. 

We got back to port and boarded our water shuttle for the short ride back to our ship in time for a drink and dinner.

Interesting day.
