Laguna de Apoyo and the market in Masaya

Central America is full of volcanoes. Some are extinct and some are still active. This is a laguna that is in the crater of a volcano. The water is quite warm and spring fed. It is slightly salty.
The market is Masaya is full of local crafts. It is mostly for tourists but this was a local woman and her daughter trying on a beautiful typical costume.


This is a photo of some of the beautiful things for sale in the same shop.

Cathy- your blog is informative and your photos are beautiful, with the exception of the one with my big fat butt. Would you mind if I put a link to your blog on mine in case my readers want another perspective? Let me know. I'm going to excercise my oversized butt now...
