Family and friends,
As the last blog said, we’ve officially made it to Nicaragua! I just wanted to share a little bit of the journey with you all, photograph style. Enjoy!
After training camp, our travel began in the Atlanta airport, where we spent our last hours in the states eating American foods (like Chic-Fil-A) and watching the sunset.
By 6:30 pm, we were all boarded and ready to go.
We landed around 9pm local time, and met with one of AIM’s contacts who had a place for us to stay for the night before continuing our journey to the island.
The next morning, after a great traditional breakfast (which included lots of rice and beans, and of course, some Nicaraguan coffee), we jumped on a private bus for a two hour drive to the port town of San Jorge.
Then jumped on a ferry!
The hour long Ferry ride had a stunning view of Ometepe Island..
Once we ported in Ometepe, it was a short bus ride to CICRIN, where we had time to get settled, get a little rest, eat more typical (and delicious) Nicaraguan food, and once again, enjoy a great sunset to end the day.
Thank you so much for following and supporting our trip! Off to go work hard, play with children, and bring Jesus to Nicaragua! The rest of the team will likely have time to get internet this weekend! Until then!
