what next?!
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008i have not written nearly as much as i thought i would as i lazed around wi-fi filled granada. i had a lot of fun with regina and linda, two gringas who live in MX. they got me off the hammock one day to tour the isletas by boat. these are small islands in lake cocibolca, created by rocks thrown from the mouth of volcan mombacho. i took the bus one day to masaya, a nearby market town, but my camera acted up and i got almost no pics. and yesterday ian from Oz (whom i met in cerra punta) popped up and we all had a great dinner together – ribs at johnny three-finger!
several days ago i moved from hostel cocibolca to hostel dorado because it has wi-fi and a hammock area. i am all about hammocks in the shade on a hot afternoon. i really recommend this place for a private room with bath. ian says the dorms are pretty hot and noisy, tho. also – not all rooms are equally cool. avoid those that get the afternoon sun. otherwise, it’s stellar and NOT in the lonely planet, which is getting more and more important to me 🙂 tho they have proved a good tool for me generally. i am using the latest Nov 2007 edition of central america on a shoestring.
granada has been a lovely place to wander around visit markets, eat good food, etc. how long have i been here? it will be 6 nights total. tomorrow ian and i made reservations to fly from managua to the corn islands. this has been a place i’ve looked forward to seeing for awhile. it will be my last beach destination (i think) until i get to MX. very tranquilo. we’ll head for little corn and i think most places only have electricity at certain times of day and most likely no internet (but i am often surprised).
