Leon, Nicaragua






So, its been awhile since you´ve heard from me. Im in Nicaragua! This country is amazing. After my classes ended i met up with my friend Mary, who also attended the language school, and we headed to Nicaragua. After a 15 hour bus ride we finally made it to Leon. I heart Leon! This city is so beautiful. The colonial architecture is incredible. Its insane. When we first arrived we settled into our hostel and decided to take a walk through the park central. The sun had just set and the park was full people and candles were burning everywhere. Horse drawn carriages filled the streets and live music was heard all around. And just to top it off, church bells rang off in the distant. This place is magical!!!! Its refined and politically progressive too! Pictured are some of the amazing churches and architecture that fill the streets of Leon.
