The four of us at the top of La Merced church/"best view of the city"--with the cathedral behind us. I have SERIOUSLY been spoiled by unbelievable views this year.
We also walked through the bustling (and seemingly endless) Municipal Market. We came across everything from fresh produce and spices to raw fish to exploded batteries to shirts and shoes; funny rotten smells and puddles of dirty rainwater aside, it was a gorgeous display. In our humble opinions, this was the most beautiful stand of them all:
Our handmade chocolate bars, which we left to harden last night but were able to pick up and wrap to take home today!
So, things are great. We've been eating boatloads of beans & rice (called gallo pinto), probably the most typical Nicaraguan fare. And I have become totally hooked on a tiny jungle fruit called mamones. Other than feeding new addictions and sweating a gallon of water every hour, Nicaragua NicaROCKS!
