Las Isletas!

Today we kayaked through Las Isletas, small islands near Granada in Lake Managua. I have to research this, but I believe they are volcanic formations. This was fabulous! We saw small herons walking on lily pads, kingfishers chasing each other among the forested islands, cormorants and an ibis on the shores and in trees. Butterflies and dragonflies of all colors crossed the lake with us. People live on these islands - we passed several farms with chidkens, and childen who called, !Hola! Later we visited Parque Sandino. This park celebrates Nicaraguan poetry; there are sculptures of poets´faces, with a poem carved into the sculptures. Fascinating to this writer! We leave Granada tomorrow and will go to Ometepe, an lsland in Lake Managua for 3-4 nights. We may stay on an agricultural coop there, and may not have internet access. There will be internet cafes. I will post in a few days, if not before.
