Granada, Nicaragua (2)

Hey everybody, hope your well? Im expecting few more comments as its been a while :)
The Spanish School " One to One" brought us on a tour to one of the white towns of Caterina, it had some amazing views and it wasnt too far from Granada town.
So my Granada Family invited me out for a walk the other night, next minute the procession arrives and im strolling beside a load of guys carrying this huge table covered in flowers with a massive of Jesus on top, the band is giving it socks and the peolpe are singing away goodo. We ended up in the church and i would have loved to have been able to film it, they are singing there hyms and clapping every few minutes for the statue of Jesus, it was out of this world compared to our boring mases. What a trip..ha ha..going to church.
I got friendly with two of my spanish teachers and under cover we cycled the real Granada.."Ringo" was quoted by the local people a few times but it was fine. I had to be little carefull as there tends to be the odd shooting but no problems. It was pretty cool, i swam in the Lake of Nicaragua and then chilled in their gafs. Ended up bumping into another of my teachers but she didnt care that i was hanging out with them. Alot of the men worlk in Costa Rica and come home on the weekends as economy is better there. Enjoyed the lessons but thankfully they are over now as felt like i was a teenager again, i can say few words but pretty limited, might do some more at later stage..we´l see. Tomorrow i am going to make my way to Ometepe which is an island formed by two volcanoes rising from Lake Nicaragua.
