We went to Granada and a few other places in the area for the day. Granada is the oldest city in the new world. It was settled in the 1500's. It sits up on a hill above lake Nicaragua. There was a lot of damage from the 2000 earthquake. The country is trying to restore the damaged buildings in an authentic way.
The main square is the center of the city. There are many vendors selling lots of things, food, drinks and souvenirs. There were also many people begging.
We ate lunch at a lovely typical Nicaraguan restaurant right off the main square. When we finished our meal a man who had been offering shoeshines asked if he could take our leftover food.
Carriage rides are a popular activity for tourists.
