Nica Update #6: City of Leon

The local Nica gym...reminding me of my fitness dreams to look like this babe with Arnold...
Angels at sunrise...

Colourful, spanish style streets...
Central Park, with Lions for 'Leon' of course...

Next we were off to Leon for an overnight before heading to the beach to visit our friends in Las Penitas. Leon and Granada are similar cities with similar architecture and timelines in history, however, they have evolved into unique cities over the years. Leon has a very liberal political and social history and is home to the University. Although Leon has many similar grand cathedrals and buildings as Granada, it has not received the same foreign investors and thus has not received the updates, renovations and fresh pain that the city of Granada is blessed with. Here is the untouched version of Nicas colonial past...We stayed at a good hostel/hotel that is affiliated with Oasis-Lazy Bones was a comfortable place to stay with all the fixins we needed...and a pool to cool off in:)
