Have you ever been to

0:03.0

Have you ever been to Granada Nicaragua?

0:05.0

That's a weird question.

0:20.0

But some of you have, and you know what I'm talking about. That is an awesome town. I used to go there a lot. I would go down there and teach pastors and stuff. We'd cover Bible and theology and things like that. And it was great. And there were a lot of great people there. But the town, my goodness, it's like a European, Spanish colonial town.

0:39.3

I think they found it like the same year the Protestant Reformation came out, like 1517 or something.

0:44.4

And the crazy thing about Granada is that it's like the Panama Canal before the Panama Canal.

1:35.7

Pacific Ocean. I mean, it's not easy. It's less convenient than the Panama Canal, but it just

1:41.7

makes for this really unique experience. It's a very unique place. If you ever

1:44.9

have a chance to go there during good political times, I highly recommend it. Well, when I was going

1:50.4

there a lot, there was this restaurant alley for, you know, kind of the tourists and whatnot. And one of

1:55.1

the restaurants there was one of the craziest things I'd ever seen. It was an Asian fusion restaurant.

1:59.9

You've probably seen these
