The Little Green Man (Granada, Nicaragua)

Another interesting day here in Granada. I spent the day at Lago De Apoyo, a gorgeous secluded lake surrounded by luscious greenery and small private resorts and local properties. The hostel that I stayed at for just the day provided kayaks, cabana chairs,hammocks, and a cute little floating wooden paradise in about 20 meters out from the shore. So I sun bathed for the first time since I've arrived, swam, kayaked (flipped over twice!) and just relaxed on the lake side with my book and iPod. It was nice to go on my own so I could chat it up with some others if I wanted or just get the solitude I needed as well.

This evening, Lina and Manuela cooked a few of us homemade spaghetti with homemade sangria. Yummy. We then played cards and drank some rum. I introduced Bonjour Madame, which evetually turned into Hola Chica, and the "Little Green Man" was introduced as a stipulation to drinking when losing a round. It then rained, and then it poured. As I type, it still pours!! So this is what rainy season is like. Silly me, thought I'd throw out the idea of frolicking in the hostel's open roofed courtyard, right beside our card playing area. Two goofs decided to just throw me in unwillingly, and here I am now with an scraped foot. Ouch. All is well in the land of fun.
