Granada first day

We made it to Granada, and immediately had some lunch.  Fried chicken strips, and rice and beans.  It was delicious and for $3 USD it was a bargain!  

With our bellies filled we went to find a place to stay.  We checked out about 5 spots, and decided on Hostel La Libertad.  It isn't this most "private" of private rooms, due to the screens with the adjoining rooms and the screened window and door to the common areas, but for $12 USD it was also a bargain.  Honestly I was a little concerned with the possibility of bed bugs in a place so cheap, but when I woke up this morning, I hadn't had a bite on me!!  Yippee!  I actually ended up staying up till 5:30AM, just watching breaking bad, and surfing the web.  I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay another night here, but Ashley thought we should, so we are. I am little tired this morning, but that will help me sleep well tonight.  

Ashley really wanted to walk down to lake Nicaragua, so before the sun went down we made the 15-20 minute trek down to the water.  It was very pretty, but the shores were rather poluted, and it didn't look like a place to sunbath.  On the way down to the water, Ashley said, "One day we will tell our kids about this."   At the moment I was still getting my bearings, and probably being a bit over cautious do I didn't think about it too much at the time, but I do agree and am very grateful for such an experience, and a good wife who reminds me of how blessed we are.

I found another lizard lying about, and I would have really been surprised or given it a real second look, had it not been pink!!
