So here is more about the cathedral, as promised. 

This cathedral was so stunning. It is actually a UNESCO world heritage site, (one of only two in Nicaragua) and the second I have visited (hello Smoky Mountains!). As you can see, the roof is painted white, and in order to keep it that way we had to take our shoes off to walk on it! We could see much of the city from up here, but because it is white and the sun was quite intense it was actually quite blinding to be up here. Totally wishing I was wearing sunglasses at the time.

Say hello to the beautiful Leon Cathedral ^^ !! We will be seeing more in a future post.

These murals were stunning ^^, these pictures don't do them justice.

What: Moving into our hostel

So unfortunately, this is the only picture I took this day. I somehow managed to come down with a cold while abroad and I spent much of the 1st in bed resting or just chillin out at our hostel (La Tortuga Booluda) which you can see above (don't you just love that it was mostly open to the elements, something that really can't happen so much in Michigan). So really, I guess this is a pretty good representation of our day. I was pretty bummed out, but luckily by the next day I was back on my feet & we were ready to explore! We also had the chance to meet a lot of other travelers from around the world, which was pretty cool. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is heading to Leon.
