We have arrived.


Well we did make it after all the delays. We had 45 mins to spare in ATL, enough time to eat and board. We were an hour late arriving in Managua, so not too bad. We are not sure where one of Zach's bags has gone though luckly it was a very small bag with nothing essential in it. The airport is supposed to call us when it arrives, however Mike has given them an old cell number that is no longer in service. We will check back and hopefully it will arrive soon. 
Joel (our guide) picked us up in his new "mack daddy" van and it was a first for me to ride around Nicaragua with the windows up and the AC pumping! Normally we would be riding in the bed of a pick up truck sitting on the luggage so no one would steal it out of the back. 
We are now settling in for the night, because the roosters and the public transport buses will be full blast at 5am. Desayuno es ala ocho en la manana. (Breakfast is at 8 in the morning) Then its off to the job site for the first day of hard labor. I am so looking forward to seeing Denesae, Noelia, Marco, Roxsanna, and all of the other children that live around our feeding program. I should have some videos up soon of the project and introduce you to our little friends. Tune in tomorrow, same doug blog, same doug channel.  Until next time...
