A cheap country with a lot of good food and some amazing photogenic cities and friendly people
Nicaragua was an amazing country to go to, as we crossed into the border and looked at prices of things, I knew that it would be a very cost effective country. Where else can you get a Rib Eye Steak with all the fixings in a restaurant for 10 dollars.
Our first stop was the beautiful town of Leon. This picturesque town had beautiful streets with a photo on almost every corner. As independence day was around the corner, the flags flying high near the plazas and churches brought out a sense of nationalism for this beautiful country.
We then had a few day stop at a beautiful lake called Lake Apoyo which had volcanoes surrounding it and it was a nice stop for a few days to catch up on things.
Along the way to various locations, the landscape and people were out and about including a parade for the political party FSLN which is a left wing party who runs the country, it was amazing to see all the people out and the mountainous landscapes
Finally our last stop in this great country was the picturesque town of Grenada which is one of the oldest cities in Nicaragua as well as in Central America as it was established in the 1500’s. A hot walk down the beautiful streets here showed me how friendly the people were and how interested they were to see foreigners. Walking through the market area off the non tourist destinations, I got to see how people shopped and lived…..A great city to photograph!!!!
I believe Grenada was a fitting end to a great photography trip in Nicaragua and with the great steaks and beer, it definitely ranks up there on my Latin American Countries!!!
