Viva Los Tiburones

In Lake Nicaragua there are sharks that can live in freshwater. They are called bull sharks. They do not bite people. They swim deep in the Lake and they go up the Rio San Juan.

We went on a boat trip in Lake Nicaragua and we visited all the little islands that were formed by the last explosion of Volcano Mombacho. We did not see any sharks, but we did see monkeys on one of the islands

At one time before I was born Mr. Somoza and his fishermen hunted the sharks for shark-fin soup and he caught 20,000 in one year.

We also went to a Granada pro baseball game. The Granada team is called Los Tiburones, which means sharks.
