Interesting Sites

Typical site on the way to the market or walking down the street-I just had to post this guy with his weapon, here in Granada. There are armed guards at the entrances of most nice neighborhoods (in Managua), at the banks, at the grocery stores, and yes; I even saw a non-concealed pistol on the hip of a man who was opening car doors for people at church! (makes people feel more welcome-lol) Having been around the military the majority of my life, I'm used to it. It just would not be a typical site on the civilian streets of the U.S. I was more surprised by the cigar and cigarette smoking in the malls than the guns in the streets. Coming from N.C., you know-the tobacco state, where we grow it, but people can't smoke it.
