Is another one going to pop-up? :D Thanks for taking the time to write. Much appreciate it. And haha, that porn bit made for a good anecdote, I thought. I really did enjoy my stay, thank you very much! By the way, where are you based currently? In the states? I need a correspondent for Granada since I'm not there myself, you see, so if you're based in Granada I'd love it if you and David could contribute information to this blog. However, if you're in the States, I'd appreciate any kind of information you can offer anyway, if not about Granada in general then about Hostal Ruben and the two Cocibolcas your uncle owns. Any kind of resource not yet in the guidebooks is useful information, so I think. Anyway, write back, and if you ever make it to Guatemala, where I am now, pop me an email. Another brother! Is another one going to pop-up? :D

He's a quick one, that guy. I was also excited to see that you stayed in our hostel and I'm glad you had a good experience. I really enjoyed reading this entry as well as the others and I was glad to see you had only good things to say about the place (sans the guys watching porn!) (by the way, that paragraph killed me, you were very polite) My uncle owns a hostel and a hotel in Granada as well, Hospedaje Cocibolca and Hotel Cocibolca, and a friend of mine is planning a trip to Nicaragua within the year so I wanted to check out his website and show my friend some pictures of his hotels. As I was searching for his website, I decided to see if my parents had put up a website ofour hostel (Hostal Nicarao has been around for almost three years now) and I happened to stumble upon your blog. I'm glad I ran into your site as I think it's an awesome idea for a blog and I look forward to reading more of your travel experiences. Good luck in your travels and I hope you have a blast! -Rene Ruiz -Rene Ruiz Hi Emily,

I never expected a reply from the owner! Thanks for writing! How exciting that it'll be changing its name soon... I guess the mural will be repainted as well? Tell you what, send me photos and some information as soon as that's done, and I'll write up another post on Hostal Ruben. Con mucho gusto. Haha. I never expected a reply from the owner!

I am the son of the owner of Hostal Nicarao (which will be changing its name to Ruben, in honor of the poet Ruben Dario, shorthly.) I was excited to see that you stayed in our hotel and i wanted to give you a little background on the place. First off it has been in our family for generations and was the home of my grandparents and my father. Long before that though it was the first government building in Central America. i don't know if you noticed but on the garage door (was the garage now it is a resting area) is the oldest emblem or escudo in spanish of central america. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you visit us again.
