Granada Nicaragua: From the Bell Tower

Our horse drawn carriage ride around the city stopped at the Iglesia de La Merced. Our carriage driver said we should not miss the view from the top of the bell tower. Here we are approaching the church.

We paid our $1.00 admission fee and then saw the steps up to the top. Good thing we are not claustrophobic!

The view over the city of Granada in all directions was indeed worth the short climb.

In the last two photos you can see Volcán Mombacho in the distance which will feature in another blog post.

Welcome, I'm Lynne. You know me better as a 'new' Jersey Girl. But now I've moved once again, this time to North Carolina. Here I write about my thoughts, good food, and of course, dogs.
