I was born in Leon Nicaragua in 1981 and left to the US in 1983. I have visited once before about 15 years ago and decided to come back. The country is gorgeous and there is a lot to see. My favorite place so far is a city called Granada which is oldest colonial city in the Americas(colonized in 1524). It is very tourist friendly and has an active volcano real close by called Mombacho (which is also a cloud rainforest and has several coffee plantations on it). Crazy views and great coffee. The volcano erupted in 1500 which also created 365 small to large islands in lake Nicaragua. We took a boat tour to look at the different islands and ended up having a spider monkey named Lucy jump on board and drink my orange soda. She was put on her own private island by a doctor who owned them and could no longer take care of her and the other 3 males. Must be nice to be them. Ha ha. Anyway now my wife and I are on a small island off the coast in the atlantic side of the country called Corn Island. This place is still pristine and very few places are out here. The corals are completely untouched which makes it great for you divers out here. I would recommend to stay in the hotel called Casa Canada. Very nice for 129 a night. Anyway I will post pics of the island and the country when I get back on the 20th of this month. I am very homesick and can't wait to see my tank and my wife's tank. Other than that I love it out here.
