A stroll down town provides a number of tempting culinary options!
Morning brings the aroma of freshly baked pastries from the panederia down the block - pineapple empanadas, crusty loaves of bread, sweets and treats of all kinds!
For dinner, a full plate of filete de pollo barbacoa (barbequed chicken breast), gallo de pinto (rice and beans), platano frito (fried banana) and a cabbage salad satisfies the taste buds and fills to tummies! A couple of liters of Tona cerbeza, shared between the four of us - nice!
A hungry street person snuck into the restaurant and asked for our left-overs. He was quickly hustled out by the management. Begging is firmly discouraged in Nicaragua. We asked if we could order him a to-go dinner - and they agreed. One more happy tummy in Granada tonight!
About Us
- Bonnie and Larry
- In past winters since retirement, we have traveled to Mexico to escape the Oregon drizzles and explore different areas of Mexico. We have recently expanded our travels beyond Mexico - first to Africa in August 2010, then to Nicaragua in February 2011. Now, we are exploring our homeland! Travel is an exciting, challenging adventure with many surprises along the way! We hope you enjoy reading about our experiences and impressions of the incredibly rich cultures found here at home and around the world!
