Popsicle Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

Nothing better than a Popsicle on a hot day, other than maybe getting further into the shade to eat it.]]>

A Day at the Market Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

This warehouse area, on the edge of the city market was one of my favorite places to visit on my walks around Grenada. There was always what seemed like a barely controlled chaos of vehicles and equipment spread up and down the street.

Bell Tower Stairs Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

These steep stairs in the bell tower of Iglesia Guadeloupe are so narrow they should be one way, except there’d be no way to get back down once you get up to the top. Even with the few people who were there the same time as we were, it took quite a bit of cooperation, and some backing up, to get everyone up and down. Fortunately there were a couple of landings like the one in this photo so people could wait for a break in traffic. At least the traffic gives you an excuse to rest if you happen to need one.]]>

Front Row Seats Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

These kids, and their parents in the background, were waiting for one of the nightly Purisima Concepción de Maria processions to come by in the week long celebration in early December. They seemed to have picked a good location except that when the procession went by, the main float was completely surrounded by hundreds of people walking with it which, standing or sitting, made it hard to see anyone except those right around you.]]>

Bathus Interruptus Grenada, Nicaragua 2013

I saw no clue on the street as to what it was that stimulated this guy’s curiosity.
