Travel Thursday

Granada, Nicaragua, 1985.

(And with that I'm off for some mostly domestic travel, and probably lots of photos. Enjoy your holidays, folks!)

Travel Thursday: Managua, 1985

Managua was a donut city when I was there. The 1972 earthquake obliterated the downtown area, and it was never rebuilt--Wikipedia says "out of fear of earthquakes", but the story I heard was that Somoza's family owned a bunch of land on the outskirts and got a bill passed prohibiting rebuilding in the center.
