Managua, linda Managua

At last we arrived in Nicaragua.  After we finished diving in Utila on Friday morning we headed out to the capital of Honduras, Tegucigalpa.  Diving was amazing.  We saw some a sea turtle, large fish, and some beautiful coral.  I only ended up underwater four times due to financial constraints.  Nevertheless it was beautiful.  We stayed the night, Friday night, in Tegucigalpa and then took the 6 am bus to Managua.  Josh said it was a nine hour ride, so I was pleasantly supprised when we arrived in Managua just after 12 pm.  Knowing the city and wanting to save money we hoofed it to a bus stop next to the Metrocentro, a very large mall in the center of the city.  We caught a local route and headed out to see some of the families we knew from two years ago.  Josh and I shared a spare bed last night at the home of one of the families.

Nicaragua is by far the cheapest country in Central America.  It helps that we do not have to pay for food or a place to say, but not with standing it would cost very little even if we did. Internet is about fifty cents an hour and a coke cost half as much as it did in Honduras.

The plan from here on out is to pretty much travel to the four corners of the country before thursday.  It is going to be a day in each place and lots of bus rides.  At least I have a few days to enjoy the food and my freedom from commitment.
