Scenes from Granada Nicaragua

This was a mosaic in the middle of the main road. I don't know exactly what it represents but it looks like different Nucaraguan people and the different things they would be doing.
Volcanic cone with the large lake in front.
We visited a large volcanic caldera filled with lake water. It was a pretty scene. This is quite a large painting of that lake with some of it's surroundings.
Cute table and chairs, rustic construction painted bright colors, at an outdoor eating establishment.
A painting of the city of Granada Nicaragua. It even has the horse drawn carriage like we rode in. Notice the colorful buildings which is like it really is.
Fountain in the town square in front of the National Cathedral and the Bishop's home.
We took a tour of the city in this little horse drawn carriage. There were lots of them around the city and most were decorated with ribbons. All of them are authentic old carriages that have been restored. This is President and Sister Porter and Laurie and our tour man. The streets are all cobble stoned.
