A good day

It was a good day. We went to church this morning with the teenage boys from the orphanage. We almost doubled the size of their church, which I think was pretty exciting for them. After church we took them out to Crater Lake for lunch.















Crater Lake is a dormant volcano that has filled completely with water. It has a small resort nestled along one of the banks that we like to get lunch at enjoy the views.


The boy's love to go to Crater Lake and we are the only team that takes them there.

We had fajitas, Coca-Cola regular, and Flan Caramela for desert. After lunch we rode into Managua to the open air market and did some quick souvenir shopping.


Whilst there
we saw a
creepy clown that would shine your shoes!??!










I got a scraped ice with caramel milk drink that was out of this world. then of course we all bought some trinkets to commemorate our trip.





On the way back to Los Cedros (where we stay) we saw a most disturbing sight. It is times like these you have to pray for people because they just don't have common sense. See the pictures below of the motorcycle or family car as it were.



















WOW! What a disturbing sight to see this whole family on the motorcycle with only the Dad protected by a helmet. Ayi yi yi, bienvenidos a Nicaragua (welcome to Nicaragua!)


















As we were leaving Managua it is always a majestic sight to see the active Mombotombo volcano towering over the city, it puts it all into perspective of how tiny we are compared to God and his creations. Mombotombo Nicaragua's largest volcano has not erupted since 1609 but constantly puffs a cloud of smoke so that Managua will respect that it could at any moment.

All and all it has been a good day.

Until next time...
