After a pretty tight connecting flight, we landed safe and sound last night in Managua with all our gear. Pretty much on time too. Everyone and everything cleared customs without a problem. Glenn said that the airport reminded him of an airport out of the 60's. Apparently this is the only airport in the country so...
We checked in at our hotel, a nice Best Western, directly across the road from the airport. Then we ate! Thank you Jesus! (We were just a tad hungry). After that we all just chilled out. We noticed that it is pretty humid here and yet the rooms were clean and free of bugs. We wondered if they had bugs. Then we noticed an official Best Western notice in our rooms: "...we must fumigate every afternoon between 5:30pm and 6:30pm...The chemicals used are a dose of cypermetherin and diesel with no adverse effects on humans..." Nice! It made us laugh.
This morning we are meeting the missionary, eating breakfast at 8am, and then it's a 3-4 hour trip to the site. Keep us all in your prayers as we travel some more today.
Great to hear you arrived and had all the equipment pass through customs
ReplyDeleteHaving a great time reading these post. I just read it all backwards. We stayed at the BW our last night in NICA. Quite nice. Otherwise it was small places usually 7 rooms or so, with families that lived right on site. Only 1 cockroach experience. All in all a pretty nice experience even in the more rural areas.
