So far we have had a great time in Nicaragua. It is very hot, but it is a beautiful country. Today we went to the Volcan Masaya. It was interesting to learn about the history associated with the volcano. Before the Spanish explorers came the local tribes - the Chorotegas and the Niguiranos - believed that there was a fire God living inside the mountain. To satisfy the God's hunger young maidens were sacrificed. Once the Spaniards came they believed that the volcano was the "Entrance to Hell" and brought forth a cross to clean the mountain of demons. Thank you to Sandra for a great day!!
