They are great people. Thanks to Ori we go our first bus into Rivas, then we were able to catch the second bus to Granada. This was a funny point because the bus that we were supposed to catch was at 1355 (1:55 civilian). The guy on the bus was grabbing our bags and throwing us on the bus lol. It was chaos but so funny. We stood the whole 1 and a half hour ride and got dropped of in the middle of no where! The guy was like GRANADA AQUI! Granada here! And we got off. Then a taxi driver tried to get us in his taxi for some rip off price we said no and went to wait in a line were Ori again found out it was going to Granada, and the the chicken bus came around the corner a little further up the road. There were hands and bodies hangin out the window screaming at all of us to get on but it wasn't a rude scream it was like a Hey man get on let's go to Granada! Lol
They started playing some marley and we were off! We got into Granada and it is a beautiful town. The hostel we stayed at was the bearded monkey
That picture was the courtyard of the hostel.
Although there is extreme poverty in Granada it is a beautiful city. Full of color and their churches are so beautiful.
They call the below picture iglesia (it is just church)
Beautiful no?
That is just one of the other churches I dont know it's name.
Here is the front.
That is Emily in the picture.
Here are the three of the new amigos
They are cool people. It was great getting to know them. H a some more pictures of the town. No commentary.
Then we all ate dinner and went out and partied. This was the first night that I really went ut to just party. I felt secure because our group had gotten even bigger. We were on total 6 people Emily, Andre, Ori, Jared, Keith and Tim. It ended up being a lot of fun. Stayed out late, almost to late but I was still up at 645ish. To tour the town, because I had decided that I would leave that day with Jared, here are the pics from that day, yesterday.
Another beautiful church.
Some more bright colors and
The freedom obelisk.
It was cool then we ate breakfast, and Jared and I set off to Papoyo on his motorcycle. It was so much fun!
It took us about three hours or a little more and we went to some friends of Jareds friends house for a birthday party that we didn't know was happening. It was so much fun! We played football (soccer) and then we had cake the fireflies came out and it was one of the most magical times I have ever had anywhere! We and to drive the rest of the way to the hostel that I was staying in with out headlights but he had flashlights and the help of other bikers on the mud roads they helped out a lot! The fields were filed with fireflies and it was and awesome adventure! We got to the hostel safe and sound and had a beer to relax and then went to bed after chatting for a while. Jared is a cool guy from Canada. That was yesterday and the day before just thought I would update. I will write more later.
Peace all.
