Grand Granada

......round here the footpaths look like chess boards, checkered either red and black or black and white, round here the heat makes it impossible to do anything strenuous, even breathing creates sweat, round here gringoes have infested all parts, creating another expensive bubble in a third world country, round here the bright coloured colonial buildings radiate at sunset........
Centro Touristico en Granada.
down the promenade towards Lago De Nicaragua, past a yellow cathedral and ,multicoloured buildings I found myself in the Centro Touristico. The pricely sum for entrance was 25 cents. Its hard to be pissed off about 25 cents but this place is rubbish. It consists of a mock castle entrance which resembles something from the middle ages in Europe. The road (the best bit of el centro) is lined with what looks like Butlins idea to a good time town. The buildings are warehouses with hundreds of seats in them and they seem to be unfinished. The most interesting thing was meeting Romano, who described how Filibuster William Walker tried to claim central and South America for the USA. See note below on this true American nut job.
I must go to sweat all my weight away, but hell at least the food is better here.
