09 JANUARY 2007 - GRANADA, NICARAGUA: A "raspado" vendor rests on his cart on the plaza in Granada, Nicaragua. Raspados are water and fruit juice served on shaved ice. Granada, founded in 1524, is one of the oldest cities in the Americas. Granada was relatively untouched by either the Nicaraguan revolution or the Contra War, so its colonial architecture survived relatively unscathed. It has emerged as the heart of Nicaragua's tourism revival. Photo by Jack Kurtz
