Greetings from Granada

Hi all,
Today we did a boat ride on the Lago de Nicaragua, in an area where there are 365 small islands, and about 4000 people living on them. We swam in a lagoon area where the water was about 25 degrees, I'm not sure why this was, but it was lovely.
Lots of bird life on the water, howler monkeys in the trees, difficult to see, but they make a great sound.
In the evening we went about 20km out of town to Masaya volcano. From the rim of the crater you look down to see flowing magma (lava still in the ground is called magma) which was a totally amazing. You can only see this 3 places in the world at present, here at Masaya, Hawaii and somewhere in the Congo. The wall of the crater looked amazing as well, and I would love to see it again in daylight. We were there after dark as it's the best way to see the magma flow.
There was a explosion on this crater earlier in the year, so the magma has been pretty high up the crater wall, for the past few months, but is slowly receding, so we are lucky to see be able to see it.
Pretty exhausted now, but really want to read at least a chapter of a novel I've just started, before I turn out the light.
Love to all
Zak
