Granada 3/7

Journal

I'm glad we got up so early. I felt a little rough but once the day started, things were bueno. We saw all of Granada by about noon.

We climbed a 17th century bell tower, perused the market, and visited a Nicaraguan cigar factory. The factory was run by a local who spoke English fairly well and loved talking about his craft. We each bought cigars that would cost $20 in the States for about $2 a piece. After the cigar factory we went to a Granada Tiburones (sharks) baseball game. For $2.50 we sat in box seats behind home plate, the best seats in the house. The game was pretty well attended. The cheap seat were on either side of a barbed wire topped fence.
