is the oldest colonial town in nicaragua. spellbinding place that boasts brightly colored buildings, including many old churches and my favorite plaza square so far. there is a deep religious background here as you can see from all the relics and churches.
the town is located on the foot of a volcano and butts up to a huge lake. that and some of the best restaurants ive been to in central america make it easy to see why it attracts lots of tourists many of whom end up staying for good.
before leaving we went to a cigar factory to get some fresh cigars. it was very cool! they still hand roll each one indivdually before taking 15 or so and putting them thru air suction kind of thing in an old wooden box. great experience even though i dont like cigars. i got some for my cousins husband in costa rica where we are heading next.
