Leon Pt. 2

Today was a busy day in Leon. I managed to knock out about three museums today. The first was the local art museum, which mainly consisted of Central American artists. It also featured several sketches from more well-known artists like Picasso, Miro, and Chagall. Considering it cost less then two dollars to enter, it was definitely worth it.

The second and perhaps most interesting museum was the FSLN Revolution museum. This is a museum dedicated to telling the story of the FSLN (Sandinista Revolution). It's about as close to raw history as one gets - the exhibits consist of xerox'd newspaper articles arranged on the wall and our tour was conducted by an former Sandinista fighter.

The third museum was an entomological museum run by a Belgian man. It was small and personal, with the exhibits consisting mostly of insects that he wasn't cleaning or cataloging. Very cool.

My Dad and I grabbed a couple of beers at the near-by Cedar House, which is run by a Canadian. It felt good to watch some of the World Baseball Classic while drinking some brew.

That's it for the day. Tomorrow we head for Masaya.
