On the day 8. we arrived along Lake Nicaragua to a beautiful city of Granada from the year 1524. After a roundtrip and a cruise on the lake we visited Masaya known of all kind of artistic hand krafts before we continued to Managua, which was grounded in 1819 and named as new capital city of the country after the pirates had burned Granada down. Managua also has suffered in several earthquakes especially 1931 and 1972. Late afternoon we were in Leon to overnight there. I decided to spend my evening by my own. I was looking for a shop which could repair my iPhone, which had stopped to co-operate with me. Luckily, thanks my Spanish I soon found a place, where they managed to fix it for 36 dollars including new battery. I was in very good mood and needed a drink or two. After asking I soon found myself in a Irish type bar. Next to me sat 3 pretty young ladies.
And of course I had to check if my camera was working, and I asked for a permission to take a photo of them. They laughed, agreed and asked me to join them, what I quickly did without hesitation...
We sat there several hours and had fun together. After 11pm they said that they have working day tomorrow and it's time to go to sleep. But before that they wanted to show Leon by night to me, having a car outside. I had missed the sight seeing trip with group but now I got it with special transportation, and finally they drove me back to my hotel. Afterwards I have got messages from two of them asking when I would return to Leon.

About Me
- Matti Ahjopalo
- I was born on Nov.24, 1940, just 9 months after Winter War against Russia was ended.My father died, when I was 3 years old. My mother remarried, when I was 8. He was a good man but I never got along him. After my military service in Finnish Navy I studied in University of Helsinki,but never did finish it partly because living in Germany and Spain for almost two years, partly because of my laziness and eager participation in student life. With 25 I was appointed as an assistant buyer to leading Finnish Mail-order and Department Store chain. I was promoted one and half years later as Buying Manager, but decided after 4 successful years start by my own. I found a financing and started an Import- wholesale company. After 16 years I owned it !00%. I worked there until 2006. After several shorter or longer relationships with several women I finally married with 40 years. We got two sons , and were married for 24 years. My sons lead today the company I started 45 years ago very fine with nice results internationally, too. And meanwhile they managed to have 4 grandchildren , 2 boys and 2 girls.
