Living in Costa Rica

When we first decided to go to Granada, there were two things I really wanted to do (based on what others recommended). I wanted to go to the Market in Masaya and also tour the islands by boat. We decided to take the afternoon boat tour so we could experience the sunset. Before being picked up for the tour, we had lunch in the central park. There are several locals who have stands selling food. It’s amazing what they can put together with very little to work with.

As it turned out there were only 4 people (including us) who were on the boat tour along with our English speaking guide, Osman and the person driving the boat. Once you see the slide show below, you will know why I highly recommend you take the tour of the islands if you visit Granada. If you are looking for a great guide, you can contact Osman at: osmanandresmg@hotmail.com.  He is a licensed guide and will pick you up at your hotel. We appreciated how he took time to point out highlights along the way and knew where to stop for a delicious lunch! We also got off the boat to walk around an old fort that was originally built to protect the mainland.
