First night in Nicaragua! The trip went smoothly, for the most part, and thank you Jesus for Dana a peace corps volunteer, who knew Kellan and some of the other corps volunteers I would be working with. She was able to point out my group and send me on my way!
We ate a late dinner at a traditional Nicaraguan restaurant where I ordered something something Viejo...delicious!!
Spent the night in an adorable hotel with a park nearby where I was able to take a walk in the morning. Although we are in a developed area (Managua) I still see people sleeping on benches with shirts over their faces, street dogs everywhere and children begging for money every time you stop your car.
Today we are heading to the market, a 500 meter zipline and finally El Sauce to begin orientation!!
Glad to hear you arrived safely :-) By any chance did you eat Ropa Vieja (my mom cooks that and its delicious!)??? Love & prayers from the R's.
