Michelle Trip Part 4


Fourth edition!  Bad news.  Apparently cigar factories are closed on Saturdays so alas, Michelle is not bringing fine Nicaraguan cigars back to the states with her.  Instead, what did we do yesterday?

MK: Had the laziest, most amazing day ever. We found our first back-packer-ish hostal/café and ate second breakfast AND lunch there, while watching How I Met Your Mother on their amazing high-speed internet. Pete helped me fill the Peace Corps stereotype – we both ordered granola with our fruit-filled yogurt (more probiotics!) and hummus. Mmmm. Then, off to Managua!

PS: Yup!  Saturday was also the final day to host political demonstrations so it was a mad house getting into Managua.  But thanks to the nicest bus driver and taxi driver in the entire country, we made it easily and safely to our hotel.

MK: For dinner we found a Chile’s equivalent that was the first place to play currently popular American music. We ate outside (and, though briefly, from our covered table I got to witness my first Nica rains of the whole trip!). We ate tasty nachos, steak fajitas and cheesecake for dessert. Not a plate of gallo pinto in sight!

PS: Well it’s now the unfortunate time where I feed Michelle one last time and take her back to the airport!  Safe travels novia!
