Waiting in Miami

Landing in Managua

You know travelling definitely brings you its share of surprises. We are in Esteli which is about 70 miles north of Managua. The laptop isn't working so I am henpecking this on an iPod.

Liam and I made it fine to Miami, then had an unplanned 10 hour layover. Well the upside was that I managed to get caught up on charting, but by the time we got to Mamagua it was too late to go by bus. We ended up hiring a driver to Esteli. Not exactly chicken bus travel, but I was interested in pushing on from Managua. Then we were walking around this town of 60K and ran into our contact from our school by accident. I guess he doesn't see a lot of hueritos (crackers) walking through town with their kids and guessed it was us.
Tomorrow we bus it to El Lagartillo (see Hijos link) and continue la vida nicaraguense.
