Piedra Del Boca | Granada Nicaragua

As early as 1852, when Ephraim Squier was writing on Nicaragua (his book is at the link below), the "stone of the mouth" or Piedra Del Boca marked the corner of what is now known as Calle 14th of September and Calle La Libertad. It remains their still for the traveller looking for a touch stone to a different time. Its origin is very likely Isla Zapatera, dating from the pre-colombian era. Squier was to bring several more statuary from Isla Zapatera to Granada. They are now on display in the Convento de San Francisco. A short boat trip can be arranged to visit the island which is also renown for its petroglyphs.

Billiards in Granada

It's been ages since I stepped out to shoot a little pool, a great way to spend an afternoon in Granada. This hall is on Calle San Juan del Sur on the way to the waterfront. There are several pool halls in Granada from which to choose. The largest is on Calle Atrevesada near Calle Xalteva which has snooker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snooker , 8 ball http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-ball and Carambol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carom_billiards
