We like Granada a bunch and are finding things to keep us busy. This place does not feel like a third world country. In fact, Elise and I remark how nice the people are everyday. This is a very special place and it is good to see the local government doing so much to preserve the heritage here.

| We love relaxing in our indoor pool at our home. It keeps us cool in these warm summer days. |
 |
| No joke, taking a horse drawn carriage ride is a major way for locals and tourists to get around town. It is so different than Antigua with their dirty chicken buses and tuk tuks evrywhere. |
 |
| Walking through the pedestrian zones in Granada at night is a lot of fun. Many of the grand colonial estates have been converted to hotels like this one above. |
 |
| Having a bite to eat at a cafe in the pedestrian only zone makes eating so much more enjoyable. |
 |
| The eclectic vibes come alive at night with street shows, like this fire dancer, that spontaneously happens. |
 |
| There is usually a pleasant breeze coming off lake Nicaragua which cools the city down at night. |
 |
| Sun setting over the town makes having a cocktail all the more fun. Food and drink in Granada is still very cheap, like bottles of beer for $1, spectacular Mojitos for $1.50 and dinner plates for $6 |
 |
| The courtyard is a typical feature in colonial houses |
 |
| I liked the roof lines on this church which was at the end of the pedestrian section of town. |
 |
| Mausoleums are common in Granada |
