Last week we were able to get away overnight (with our little man in tow :) to Leon, a very old city about 2 hrs west of here, close to the Pacific Ocean. Along the way we enjoyed the nice scenery of hundreds of acres of both beef and dairy cattle, as well as some volcanoes in the distance. We stayed at a nice and quiet hotel and enjoyed the view from our room...we could see several centuries old cathedrals in the distance and listened to the bells chime. For dinner we tried out a fabulous Mediterranean restaurant, ate cold cucumber soup for the first time (delicious!) and walked back to the hotel in a thunderstorm.
In the morning we passed through Nagarote, a small town famous throughout Nicaragua for it's quesillos (flat piece of cheese wrapped inside a tortilla and smothered in fried onions and cream) on our way to Managua. Overall it was a nice quick getaway and we enjoyed our very quiet meals!
