Lago Nicaragua

Lago Nicaragua is the largest freshwater lake in Central America. In Granada you can view the lake by horse and carriage and watch fisherman seine for fish right off the shore.

When I was walking around the lake a large group of boys were biking back from swimming. They stopped just behind me and jumped off their bikes. One boy threw a machete into the air into a massive tree while the others scrambled picking up mangoes off the ground. They hurried back on their bikes with their T-shirts filled with mangoes and insisted I tried some. Green mangoes are typically eaten sliced with salt and limon.
