It´s November! We are in Granada in Nicaragua, on our last night here for Day of the Dead. In preparation they painted the cemetary with a fresh coat of white and there are traditional yellow flowers sold everywhere in the street. Granada is a beautiful, colonial-era city on Lake Nicaragua which we boated on Wednesday afternoon. It was a little stormy but we landed at an old fortress, and from the cannon tower we could see all of the city and the surrounding volcano called Mombacho. We spent our mornings this week in language school at One to One Tutoring, a great experience. They were very helpful and good teachers, and brought us around the city one day as well. We explored an abandoned hospital, a former government prison, and saw many churches. There is a huge yellow cathedral in the square, the pride of Granada. Our afternoons we had free and we could just walk around the city, there is a lot to see and do. Tomorrow we leave for Parque Maderas, on the beach outside the city San Juan del Sur, to do volunteer projects and surf for the week. Everyone is looking forward to this!
