El Malécon
We had to really take it easy today, considering several of us only had a couple hours of sleep, and Christy, I think, only had about an hour of sleep. We just hung out in Masaya most of the day. Oliver took us to El Malecón, a vista point near the baseball stadium. You can see Volcán Masaya, which was letting off some black steam.
Aftewards, we met up with Meling at her house (one of Oliver’s friends…picture coming soon!) and had Mexican food for a late lunch/early dinner.

He was in between talking to the taxi driver and Meling’s mother.
Navidad en Jinotepe
left to right: Me, Irené, Christy and Gabriela.
Irené, Oliver, and Chris’s friend, had invited us to her sister’s apartment for a tree lighting party in the town of Jinotepe, west of Masaya. Gabriela is studying at the the University of Nicaragua, Jinotepe. When we sat down at the table, we were surprised to see her tablemats had pictures of sushi on them. A lot of Nicaraguans we met don’t like Asian food at all; one guest had not seen what sushi looked like. But Gabriela mentioned there are a number of Japanese restaurants in the area because there is an small Asian community at the University.
We met some nice people at the party. Christy had her ear talked off about politics, but in Spanish...it was funny to watch (sorry Christy!). We ended up going to a local bar/disco by the end of the night and that was about it!
