Managua, Masaya. MASAYA, MANAGUA!!!

The weekend in Managua was definitely an awesome one for me. After walking thru the pouring rain Mo and I caught a bus for a dollar to Managua to meet her family. We arrived and they formed a circle around Monique... kinda ignored me thinking I spoke no spanish. HA! if only they'd realized. I instantly clicked the her cousin's wife and daughter and they eagerly showed us around the city.

   Tia Miriam's friend was a cab driver and he shuttled us from one historic site to another. There's such a rich history in Nicaragua and I learned it within 5hrs... apparently the current prez is not too popular among the people...

The Vieja Cathedral was ruined by an earthquake and sits in ruins. The clock permanently reads the moment the earthquake began. We went to the mall to exchange so cash and tried this refresco de cacao. DELISH!!! YUMM!!! Great stuff. To end the night we ate dinner at a local restaurant. QUE RRRRRICO! Carne, maduros y arroz con frijoles por supuesto.
