On Sunday, March 26 I went to this Volcano called Mombacho very near to Granada:



Unfortunately it was a bit hazy so you could not see all that much of Granada for them top but you can tell that Granada is on the shore of Lago de Nicaragua:


There is cloud forest on top of the volcano:




On fertile land of the volcano they grow coffee (on the right side)...


...and bananas.


But as you can tell by the look of this "farm house", the farmers are very poor here and live in huts like this:


Or this family built a home out of an old bus:


This is another typical central american thing I have seen in Costa Rica before and then again in Nicaragua, the so-called Living Fence:

To fence off you piece of land you just cut off branches of trees and stick them into the ground. And because the soil is so fertile the branches start to grow again and you end up with this living fence!
