HELLO FROM GRANADA, NICARAGUA

Well i left Leon and made it to a little town called ojo de agua, were a man called Juan Jose offered me to stay on his front porch so i did though it was still early the road had been pretty rough, mostly dirt and also a 5k streach were it was the gravel they lay down before compacting for pavement and i had to walk most of it because the bike kept diggin in!
The next day i took what would me a 82k loop, half way it would bring me to a beach town called Masachapa, and at the end bring me back up to the panam hwy, it was hardly worth it the town wasnt so great and the beach was pretty smelly with grey water running on to it from the hotel, so after i left to complete the second half of the loop i discovered it was a steady non stop climb from sea level to 1000m (3000ft) so those 36k took me 5 hours, when i reached the panam i was pretty tired but i decided to pedal on, and as i passed the turn for Granada, a city i really wanted to see though it would be 20k in and then back out i decided to keep going and just one k down the road i met, Juan and Rafa, two spanish bicytourists, travelling north from south america, so we stopped and took a picture and they said they were headed to Granada and i tagged along its been really nice to spend time with them, we rode in a hard hard rain all the way to town where it eventually cleared up, and after settling in at a hostal, for under $5 each with free coffe, a place to cook, nice patio with hamocks all around and wifi, we went out for some beers and dinner, we had a good time talking, it was nice to spend some time with them, so i decided to spend today in Granada and tomorrow head to Costa Rica! Good bye for now!
