If you're ever feeling down, or just want to feel like the most popular person in the world, then you need to go to the market. I think there are four here in Leon. As soon as you get close to it, people immediately start asking what you're looking for. "¿Qué buscas chele?" "¿Qué buscas amor?" People grab your arm and try to direct you into their store. Or convince you that you're looking for shoes or whatever they might be selling. This particular market in near the Iglesia San Jan. It's a good time.
10-23-07 Small Update: As you may notice, the market is curiously shaped like a train station. There used to be trains here in Nicaragua until the 1990s, when they were sold off.

I sure hope you weren't "busca"-ing "amor".....
Ha, all the old grandmothers at the market call me "Amor"
