In the bell tower with some of our new friends from the spanish school.
The streets of Granada
My successful attempt at shaping a tortilla.
Our class headed out to one of the islands one day, and Jesus got a few of the students up dancing (including Amanda in this photograph). The funniest part was the group of local boys who gathered to watch behind them. You can't see many of them in this photo, but there were about 10 of them I think.
On our way out to Uncle Gerard's island for the first time, we stopped to watch a couple of scenes from the Stations of the Cross.
These are some photos of the island where we spent a relaxing four days!
After completing my spanish course, I took this photo with my instructor, Lesbia.
Cooking lessons at the Spanish school!
The zipline on the Mombachu Volcano!

This is a photo of Lake Nicaragua...you can see the isletas on the lake. They look like a long peninsula, but they are actually lots of small islands, close together!
This is a view of the Laguna from Catarina.
One of the cute, little taxis in Catarina.
This is the day we biked and hiked to the Laguna...crazy, but I'm glad we did it!
The sports club where Uncle Gerard is a member...he got us temporary memborship cards and we hung out there one morning.
These are a couple of views of the volcanos on Oma Tepe.

Saying goodbye to friends...kids at Carita Feliz, the Clinica Alabama Granada, Xavier and Susanna, Gustavo (pharmacist), Cecilia (administrator at the clinic), Olivia (receptionist), and Eduardo (one of the doctors).
A quick shot of the markets in Granada...doesn't really capture the hectic-ness of making one's way through them, but there you have it!
Our fun afternoon out on the island with new friends!
The lovely coastal town of San Juan del Sur.
