Sappo Grande!

Back on Track!

We're on our way to the "pollo plane"!
Ana(?) picked us up at the hotel and took us to a local market to do
some shopping before making it to the airport. (I sooo didn't pick my
dad up a box of Cuban's.) Bo bought a Sappo Grande (big stuffed frog).

Ana, thanks for the ride! You have friends in New York anytime you
decide to visit.

Authentic Dining @ ElGarabato's

Manfred suggested we eat here last night for an authentic Nucaraguan
meal. It was about a 15 minute walk from the hotel, and some of the
best Latin food we've ever had. One dish was wrapped in plaintain
leaves and we had to squeeze it out like toothpaste....YUM!

Meet Manfred!

Manfred picked us up from the airport at the last minute and took us
to his hotel, "Las Pyramides". Along the way, he gave us a personal
perspective into the Nicaraguan way of life. His kindness (and amazing
hotel) turned our layover in Miami into a blessing.

Managua Airport

They even have a welcoming committee!

View From Above

First thing we noticed while flying into Managua was the lack of tall
buildings. From what we can tell, noting stood more than a couple
stories high.
