Dad and Sean in the Hotel Cafe in Jinoetga. We stayed there (in yes, the all wood room) watching the Big Bang Theory marathon and taking a day trip to pack up my stuff in site in Cuatro Esquinas.

View of Matagalpa from the road
First cafe we got to after arriving in Matagalpa and the boys experienced some Matagalpan coffee and smoothies at Cafe Barista.
Sorry this one is so blurry, but the boys are standing just inside the Cathedral in Matagalpa.
Sean next to his new ride......no seriously, just standing in the walkway of the Gallo mas Gallo store
And Sean in front of the Carlos Fonseca museum (which was closed) taking a picture with one of the main men of the Sandinista starter kit.
The boys impersonating Carlos Fonseca statue in the Central Park.
The rainbow--can't you see it!?!
We made it to Granada!!! A little late (because Dad just had to try to get a t-shirt that had the town of Tipitapa on it).
Sean trying his first hand at feeding the remaining kitten, Smartypants. The other 3 went to members of my community and our driver, Marcos. He's like a pro!
Except when it comes to having to kidnap the escapee. And Smartypants is smart!! She gets away!!
But she definitely has a favorite. I felt a little jealous. She preferred snuggling with Sean while he was playing Gameboy. And everybody is happy.
A happy boy and his Americano breakfast of omlette, bacon, pancakes, and watermelon! In the hotel in Granada.
The ridiculously large room Sean and I had in Granada!! Like ridiculously large room!! I think I went through more culture shock coming from my site to this hotel (that had controlled AC and a Jacuzzi!!) than I did from Nicaragua to the States.
Inside the Cathedral of Granda. You know... the big yellow one that's in all the tour books and pictures.
Our car...faithful steed that packed more luggage than was it was probably designed to, but we did it.
Yet another church. Dad kept thinking they were churches and cathedrals based on their size, but the yellow one is the cathedral and all the rest are churches.
Hey Meg
