Bryan was asked to give a public talk in Bluefields, on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. Because it's such a long journey, they don't get very many visiting speakers. We decided to make this our yearly anniversary trip - 10 days long
So, we rode our moto from SJDS, Rivas to Granada (1 hr 15 min). We spent the weekend with Joel & Lindsey Savage...so nice of them to let us crash at their casa :-) We had an awesome time... cooking homemade pizza in their yard (by Chef Lopez), a lil patio sing-a-long & hammock hanging
We then took a public bus to Managua (30 min) & hung out at the mall until time for our Bluefield Bus at 9pm. The bus ride was 6 hrs on a chicken bus...noisy, uncomfortable, couldn't sleep.. but only cost 160 cords (only $6.04) per person, compared to a $150 plane ticket to Bluefields
Arrived in Rama at 3:30am & napped in the tiny bus terminal till 5am. We then took a 2 hr panga (basically a "john boat"..16 passengers + luggage) ride down the Escondido River to Bluefields. Exhausted, but happy :-)
