Hotel Spa Granada
We ate this morning at the Hotel Spa Granada. They have an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet for $5 + tax (C$125). It’s got a little bit of everything: coffee, 2 varieties of fruit juice, water, 3 varieties of fruit, fried plantains, fried potatoes, rice and beans, omelets made to order, pancakes and crepes made to order as well. I would say the best part of the buffet is the price. It is a good value for what you get. The dining area also has a nice atmosphere. While there may be more flavorful options in town, you can’t go wrong for the price and location. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give it a 7.
It’s on the Calle Atravesada, across from Bancentro. You can get complete information at www.HotelSpaGranada.com.
By the way, the dog’s name is Chiquita.
Comimos hoy en el Hotel Spa Granada. Ofrecen un desayuno buffet ‘todo-lo-que-quiere-comer’ por $5 + IVA (C$125). Tiene un poco de todo: café, 2 tipos de jugo, agua, 3 tips de fruta, plátanos fritos, papas caseras, gallo pinto, omelet al gusto, panqué y crepas también al gusto. Yo diría que lo mejor de este buffet es su precio. Es una buena oferta. También el área de comer tiene un ambiente agradable. Es cierto que quizá hay opciones más sabrosas en Granada pero no te vas a arrepentir de haber escogido el Hotel Spa Granada por el precio y buena ubicación. De 1 a 10, le doy un 7.
Está ubicado en la Calle Atravesada, frente a Bancentro. Podés informarte con más detalles en www.HotelSpaGranada.com

La Terraza Mediterraneo
We went with Aaron Lamy to eat supper tonight at La Terraza Mediterraneo, in León, Nicaragua. It’s a nice little place with good steak. There is a variety in the menu as you can see in the pictures.
There is a nice cut of beek in Archduke sauce – C$165 ($8.00)
Next there is spaghetti with chicken and basil – C$135 ($6.85)
Finally I had the shrimp in garlic sauce C$185 ($9.15).
Coca-Cola or sweetened lemon tea costs C$15 a drink.
Should you leave a tip? Note the note (second to bottom) that says that “the dishes are served with rice and crudity”. Thus “Tipping is voluntary”. OK?

Survivor: Nicaragua has begun!
Survivor: Nicaragua is the 21st season of the popular reality TV show Survivor. It aired on CBS in the United States from September 15, 2010, to December 19, 2010. The season was filmed in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, and featured 20 contestants competing for the grand prize of $1 million.
The season was divided into two tribes: Espada, consisting of contestants over the age of 40, and La Flor, consisting of contestants under the age of 30. The tribes were eventually merged into one, called Libertad.
The season was notable for its many twists and turns, including the introduction of the Medallion of Power, which gave the tribe that possessed it an advantage in challenges, and the introduction of the hidden Immunity Idol, which allowed a contestant to negate any votes cast against them at Tribal Council.
The season was won by Jud “Fabio” Birza, a 21-year-old model from California, who defeated Chase Rice and Matthew “Sash” Lenahan in the final Tribal Council. Birza was praised for his strategic gameplay and likable personality throughout the season.

Barrio Shick in Managua – No more garbage
En el barrio Shick en Managua, Nicaragua, hay una buena idea para disuadir a la gente de botar basura donde no se debe. Desafortunadamente parece no funcionar.
In the Shick neighborhood, Managua, Nicaragua, someone has made a nice attempt to keep the locals from depositing their trash where they shouldn’t. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be working.
