Today was our trip to Granada. First we visited a cemetery which had rental coffins. Afterwards we went to a church, and climbed up a bell tower which had really short stairs. At the top there was an amazing view of the city. Then we made our way to Lake Nicaragua which used to hold the world's only freshwater shark (and still might?). We saw some incredibly big island houses which belong to some really rich people. Then we jumped off the side of the boat and took a swim. (Rachel had a little trouble getting back on). Afterwards we went to the "Hotel con Corazón" (hotel with a heart). At the hotel, we met up with people  from the Pulsera project and had lunch. When lunch was over, we headed into town for some shopping. Ally Bergeron finally got to see a kitten, after Corey saved it from falling off a ledge. There was also a free art exhibit near the park which was neat. After Evan ate three orders of chicken, we returned to El Piscacho. As we settled in, and people ate dinner, there was another bug in the shower, however this time Corey was the one who had it, and this time it was a SCORPION! But don't worry, their venom can only paralyze you for an entire day. We had the night guard Leopoldo remove it (after taking pictures). So we had an eventful end to our ninth day in Nicaragua. ¡Adios gringos!
