Nica 2007: La Boda De Chana y Jorge (Managua)

  I'm holding off on posting too much about the wedding to try and give Chanita some time to go through all the photos A and I gave her and post them herself. Until then, some photos from our first couple of days in Managua and Granada:

Managua:

 Day 1_Managua_Downtown Murals_IMG_0120 Day 1_Managua_Downtown Murals_IMG_0115 Day 1_Managua_Downtown Murals_IMG_0112  Managua has some of the best street art / graffiti / murals


The Parque de la Paz was a huge bonfire of weapons used during the Sandinista revolution, burnt and concreted over:

It's a country in a big hurry to forget it's troubled past.  This is the Somoza family grave. The Somozas rules Nicaragua for over 40 years, bleeding it dry (they had some great friends, too)
