My original idea was to visit Granada, Masaya, and Isla Ometepe in Nicaragua, but I ended up having an unpleasant time in terms of hotels, luggage storage, and most interaction with any tourism-related person in Managua. And so, fed up, I just decided to move onward, to see a different section of the country, and at the same time, getting closer to other Central American countries.

I checked out the museum of famed local poet Ruben Dario.
