December 22. Nicaragua.


The morning of December 22 we woke up in Corinto, Nicaragua. We took a motor coach tour through most of Nicaragua to Old León, the colonial city of León, founded in 1524 by Spanish conquistadors. The city was buried in ash from the Momotombo Volcano in 1610. It is called the "Central American Pompeii." Later in the day we visited the "new" León.
