Diary from Nicaragua

Lake Nicaragua is the 10th largest freshwater lake in the world and the 2nd largest in Latin America(after Lake Titicaca in Bolivia and Peru). Yesterday was holiday here so we couple cigar buddies went to Lake Nicaragua to hang around on a boat, smoking, drinking and enjoy some tropical beauty. FYI, the famous Ometepe tobacco comes from Ometepe Islands which is also situated in Lake Nicaragua. I will talk about Ometepe Islands and tobacco some other time. It's natural history and beauty is fascinating, covering over 8,000 Sq. Kilometer. We took the closet entry through historic city of Granada from Managua. The famous Mombacho Volcano is also next to Granada city. Mombacho also produces some tobaccos. There is a cigar brand calls "Mombacho" made by a Canadian guy.

we had couple hours boat ride. The lake has many small Islands with beautiful houses, hotels and old Spanish fort. We enjoyed tube ride, hiking around the small island and of ofcourse smoking cigars. It was a lot of fun. Here are some picture:

Congratulations.

I bet you're excited but relieved that process is over. I can't even imagine the knowledge and stories you've shared with A.J. and everyone else involved in making the LR. Those look fantastic and I hope you enjoy them to their fullest.
