Today the ship arrived in Corinto, Nicaragua at 10 AM. Corinto serves as Nicaragua's largest port, providing a trading hub for the region and attracting tourists from around the world. It was founded as a cit;y in the late 19th century. At 11 I left on a tour called " Colonial Leon & and the Bubbling Mud Pots". We left the port at 11:30 PM and arrived at the Bubbling Mud Pots at 1 PM. We left the Bubbling Mud Pots at 1:30 PM and arrived at the La Asuncion Cathedral at 2:20 PM. We spent some time here and we got back to the ship at 5:20 PM.
I got back to my room at 5:30 PM and made a quick change of clothes and went to dinner. After dinner at 8 PM I went to the show put on by Natalie Toro. She is a veteran of Broadway. She sang some of her songs from broadway alone with a few other. She has a great voice and I enjoyed her show.
Corinto is a town of 16,624 (2005 population) on the northwest Pacific coast of Nicaragua in the province of Chinandega. The municipality was founded in 1863.
León (Spanish pronunciation: [leˈon]) is the second largest city in Nicaragua, after Managua. It was founded by the Spanish as Santiago de los Caballeros de León and rivals Granada, Nicaragua, in the number of historic Spanish colonial churches, secular buildings, and private residences. As of 2012, the city had an estimated population of 201,100. which increases sharply during university season with many students coming from other regions of Nicaragua. It is the capital and largest city of León Department.
León is located along the Río Chiquito, some 90 kilometres (56 miles) northwest of Managua, and some 18 km (11 miles) east of the Pacific Ocean coast. León has long been the political and intellectual center of the nation and its National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN) was founded in 1813, making it the second oldest university in Central America. León is also an important industrial, agricultural, and commercial center for Nicaragua, exporting sugar cane, cattle, peanut, plantain, and sorghum. The city has been home to many of Nicaragua's most noteworthy poets including Rubén Darío, Alfonso Cortés and Salomón de la Selva.
