... into each others arms, not quite believing what had just happened. I showed Al the money the woman had given me and we ran down the road stopping when we saw a woman in a driveway. We asked her if we could call the police and where we were. She said we were in Masaya and that we couldnt call the police. What a helpful person. <br><br>We continued running down the road and came to a t-section where we saw cars driving. We stopped a taxi with two older ...

... br>Tuesday morning Mom and I broke away from the pack and headed to the Volcan Masaya, an active volcano that we hiked to the top of and peered into. Even after witnessing Mt. St. Helens erupt in 1980, it was an impressive site, with a constant stream of smoke rolling out of the crater.<br><br>We then checked out the Masaya Market, a huge artisan market in Masaya (duh) that features incredible ...

... met gezamenlijke douche en erg gehorig omdat de muren van 14 kamers niet doorlopen tot het plafond. Dus oordopjes in en de ventilator een standje hoger om het geluid weg te nemen.<br>Granada is een mooi stadje aan een groot meer....het heeft iets weg van Antigua...maar dan veel ruimer opgezet en met meer groen. We waren gisteren aan het puzzelen hoe we in Costa Rica kunnen komen om Jan en Margreet (ouders van Heleen ...

...announced the air stewardess amongst the applause that erupted in the cabin as the plane's wheels kissed Nicaraguan soil. I looked around at all the beaming faces around me, trying to recall the last time I had heard applause when landing somewhere. Knowing that people were happy to be returning (I presume?) to this country diffused a bit of my anxiety. As I exited the plane into the Aeropuerto Internacional ...

... we came out and hiked around the rim of teh volcano and then down. We actually got a ride down with this couple from Iowa and into teh town where we went to the Masaya markets which were crazy. I bought a hammock for 10 bucks because i couldn't resist. so cheap and they make them right in that town so sweet momento i thought. from hear i'm heading back down to Costa and to my meditation yoga resort place in Uvita. Thats where i'll hopefully right my next entry. Talk to you all then, Chris

CR: I meet my fellow PC Volunteer Daniel in my nearest biggest town Upala around 1pm. He started his travel at 6am and at that rate we´d get to my town at 4:30pm. So I figured we`d spend the night in my town but there was the possibility of taking a 6pm bus that would possibly take us to our destination by say 10pm. Daniel arrives and he´s like Yes, let´s go tonight and I´m like, No, that´s really dangerous you fool. So we solve ...

... re not hanging around at night, we think there's nothing much that can happen.<br>We go straight to the malecón, the waterfront, the only place in the city to see Lake Managua. Here are located Managua's most sites of interest. The main tourist attractions are fewer than you might expect: its historic center with the Old Cathedral, the Palace of Culture and the Ruben Dario National Theater and a nice lookout park.<br>We start our walk near the lake, admire 'La Concha Acustica ...

... foukal prijemny vitr. Pak jsme sli na mistni trh, kde jsem si koupil tricko s mistnim velmi dobrym rumem Flor de Caña a pak jsme vyrazili smer Granada. Velmi prijemne straveny den a udelali jsme neco pro zdravi. Tento vecer budeme radeji odpocivat. ;)

we arrived in managua pretty late and a bit drunk and had a bit of an ordeal getting through customs as there was a ´tax´we had to pay but hadnt known about, but we made it. got to a hotel finally and monged out with cable tv and rice and beans from a roadside stall, heaven.next day was off to isla ometepe. managua was a bit of a shock to the senses after sleepy belize, as soon as the taxi pulled up in front of bus station men were geting our ...

... of the house. They seemed happy, though. <br> The street was very rough and consisted of dirt, stones, and trash. One of the teen boys and I found some coins in the rubble. They are so cheap that they rust. <br> The pastor's wife is an artist. They invited me to come back to teach a ladies art camp. What an honor.<br> At 1:00 we left to go to a poor ranching village 3 ...
