The Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua is the country's first national park. Our guide talked about how the economy was ravaged by the civil wars in the 1980s, and they are trying to change Nicaragua's image and bring in tourists. This site has not much to offer except the view of the large crater with sulfuric steam coming out of it. It was a two hour bus ride to get here.
After leaving the volcano we went to a small town of Catarina which has an overview of Nicaragua's two lakes. You can buy some handicrafts there. This is the village's nativity scene. The Jesus figure is not in the manager yet.
One of the many "chicken buses" in Central America. This one is more modern than most, but all are very colorful as many cannot read and identify the bus by the colors and markings. It's called a chicken bus because livestock can ride on the top.
This evening we were lucky enough to get Alvin as our waiter and Nelson as our table captain. They were so personable and did magic tricks that we requested them for the rest of the cruise.
The Stringer women all ready for dinner.
