The flight from Houston to Managua though bumpy was very pleasant. We arrived in Managua about 9:30 local time and then had a 2 hour drive to Juiglapa where we stayed the night with Pastor Abel and his family. The entire mission team was about 13 strong with the majority of them staying in the Juigalpa area.
Sharon and I enjoyed breakfast with the team and then with our interpreter Maricela, left for our 2 1/2 hour drive to San Carlos. On the trip we stopped for something to drink - this woman was finishing cleaning the skin off an Iguana getting it ready for lunch!
Our first stop in San Carlos was a Rose of Sharon Church to meet with Pastor Juan Jose. I was with Pastor Juan last trip here to Nicaragua and it was a great reunion. While we had planned on having services starting that Friday Night, Pastor Juan said it would be better to start Saturday Evening. That gave us Friday and Saturday to rest and see some of the sites in San Carlos.
We checked into one of my favorite hotels - Hotel Ocaso.
We had time to stroll around town taking in some of the quaintness of San Carlos.
My Favorite dish in San Carlos in Jalapeno de Pollo. The cost of this meal? About $3.00 on the Malecon.
The next day I was reuinted with Champa - my fishing buddy from La Esquina Del Lago - a fishing lodge across the river from San Carlos. A few years ago I made a video for their lodge in exchange for a River Tarpon fishing trip. Click Here to watch it.
Here are a few pictures we took at the Lodge.
That evening we had a wonderful service at Rose of Sharon Church. The worship was lively as always and the people were warm and inviting. It was great to see many of them again and meet new friends also!
Sunday is coming! Should be a great day! Keep us in your prayers!
