Lazy in Nicaragua

I had to do it. Managua is famous for its shopping malls and multiplexes. There was one just 5 minutes walk away from the hostel I was staying in. I had to. I went to see Harry Potter :)

After the cinema and a McDonald breakfast (I’m ashamed to admit it, but I do like McDonald breakfasts!), I had to run away from the capital. On the day I reached Granada, they were celebrating the Virgin and so almost every house had its doors opened with people sitting in their rocking chairs surrounded by their Christmas decorations in their patios, waiting for the procession to pass by their house.

The rocking chair defined Granada.

An American woman, who’s been living in Central America for 10 years, confirmed it – she said it took her 2 years to adjust her mind into just doing nothing, sitting in a rocking chair and rock away. Metaphorically speaking, it didn’t take me that long to adjust.

I just spent time reading, strolling in the streets, sitting in cafes or on steps, riding a boat to see a few of the 365 islands in the Lake of Nicaragua, swimming in a crater lake, and more importantly, enjoying the sun.
