The Cathedral of Leon. Did you see my Grecian rooftop post? Visit Our Lady of Grace for a post with a view.
I had so much fun on my gritty Leon photo safaris, that I had to split up my souvenirs into 3 posts. There is so much saturated color, delicious decay and overall peculiarity in Central America, that you will never run out of photo opportunities. Most people come to Leon to surf a volcano, but if you can brave the steamy streets, there is so much more...
Street kitten.
Fried chicken.
I don't take a lot of people shots, but I'm glad I captured this guy and his homemade broom. He was sweeping one of the many town squares.
A towering lady in red.
El Bodegon was our favorite restaurant. (not a tobacco shop) But that being said, we did roll our own cigars at one point during the trip. More on that later.
A red hot ride!
A street party leftover.
These eyes seemed to follow us everywhere, since we were always walking down this street.
Be sure to pop back soon for part 2 and 3!

Oboy! More to come makes me so very happy. You have the most incredible eye for beauty, Sharon. :-)
We also have Spanish Colonial Churches here in the Philippines but seeing these photographs of your from Nicaragua makes me appreciate the variety of architecture! I love it!

I am so envious of your travels, Sharon! Amazing photos!
There is so much colors in the streets of Leon. A lot of people say they prefer Granada or that if you go to Granada, you would not like Leon but I would like to visit both cities. #TPThursday
Love your street photography and your description of "delicious decay"!. Makes me want to visit and take 1000 photos!!
REALLY nice photos Sharon! I would love to be there and soak up the history and flavor of it all.
This is part of the world I would really like to visit - one day it may even happen!
