Sites of Managua

Day 4 in Managua...the city is becoming easier to wander around. We also have met Oscar the Taxi driver who is a great driver and a great man! He has given us his cell phone so all we have to do is call and he is pretty much there! It costs us 30cords ($2US to go anywhere in the city).

We made it to the Canadian embassy today. An interesting experience as they do not speak English at the reception. They do speak French and of course Spanish. Needless to say, Karl did all the talking. We then headed to MetroCentro for a great Nicaraguan grown coffee. Our other adventure of the day took as to Laguna Tiscapo. This is a volcanic lagoon in the middle of the city with alot of history from the Samoza's, offering a Canopy tour and great views of both Lake Nicaragua to the north and the new Cathedral (with a very interesting design) to the south.

Sorry no photos today...we did not bring the camera. Look forward to posting some photos tomorrow and new info!
