Day Eight Recap

We left Chinandega at 7am, with Hamilton driving us south.  We stopped in Leon to pick up  Ricardo and continued south to Manague to visit Barb (and Cindy) in the hospital.  Barb looked great! Sitting up in bed. Smile on her face. Questions for us about LaJoya. I doubt the hospital has had a more pleasant patient, or a more caring, thorough BFF.  The last update we had was that the two of them would fly home on Monday with a contingency to have a visiting nurse meet them in Houston.

Then we continued south to Grenada, Nicaragua's oldest community.  We had lunch and then went to the top of a Cathedral for the view, even one-legged Ricardo and scared-of-heights Mary (Poppins) went to the top. Amazing view.

We stopped at the market at Masaya to leave some American money in the local economy.  A Mary Poppins wooden figurine was spotted, purchased and given to the real Mary Poppins of our team.  Just ask Mary for the story, or Jamie.

We are currently at the Aeropueto Managua waiting for our 12:40pm flight to Houston (and ran into some people from Faith Baptist Church in Adrian.)

Great trip. Ready to be home.
