We went to Managua, the Capital (where the airport is located) for some much needed shopping. We rented a tiny Suzuki Alto & packed it FULL. It's about a 2-3 hour drive, so we made the most of it. Went to Price Mart (like a Sam's Club) & Sinsa (owned by Ace Hardware)
We got some bulk food items, an high powered fan, awesome toaster oven, some fold-up tables & chairs, good pillows (a necessity) , etc. Our little casa is starting to feel like home now :-)
Also, note the MCDONALD'S PHOTOS...a much needed breakfast stop!! I was SO excited..fast food, A/C, clean restroom, ICED COFFEE...made me very happy. NO biscuits, which was a bummer, only English muffins. It's so funny that they have Nicaraguan food at McD's...gallo pinto (beans and rice)
Oh, and for lunch, we had Tip Top (fried chicken & french fries...their ketchup's really weird though, tastes like it has jelly in it). All in all, it was a good day :-)
No biscuits?!?! That's just wrong. So good to see your smiling faces. May Jehovah be with you!
ReplyDeleteWell, looks like at least a once-a-month trip for you...if only for a McD's. How much to rent the vehicle? Looking forward to your next posting. Will be talking to our BOE next Saturday about your KH roof.

To rent the car was expensive $54+$24 gas, only because it came from Budget who is new in town. Alamo is usually cheaper about $25 a day but they ran out of cars for that day. It's worth it though to rent a car every now and then, way cheaper than owning one.
ReplyDeleteNow Jess looks HAPPY! What a little AC can do for a girl!!
