First day in Nicaragua is mostly about the fruit

We flew in much later than planned last night to Managua, due to
various passport mishaps(someone forgot that his passport expired!)and
our pilot in Houston got stuck in traffic from a flood on the
interstate--I didn't realize they have flooding problems in texas.


While panicking on the plane about where to stay, we were very excited
to meet a lovely woman from the Rainforest Alliance who gave us a ride
2 hours to Granada in her car! Stayed in a fairly hideous and
reasonably unfriendly hostel for the first night and promptly moved on
in the morning.

Granada has beautiful architecture, all photos are on my
camera...bright colors, a crazy mercado and a ton of bicycles and
stray dogs.

We are eating all kinds of fantastic fresh fruit, the mango smell like
perfume and we ate a fruit that looks like a potato and tastes like
caramel.

I have my feet in a pool while writing as it's still in the 90's at
night.
