After attending a Nicaragua/Wisconsin Partners meeting in Managua Saturday - we took the old road to Leon on our way to meet Rachel, Salina and Kari in Chinandega. What we learned this weekend:
Never, ever take the old road to Leon. The key descriptor "old" means holey, unpaved, really bumpy and driving in the heat at about 20 mph for 2 hours - wondering about that semi racing up behind you. And the buses!!!
The Pacific was great.
The north route from Chinandega to Sebaco does not have any gas stations - except for the house that sold gas by siphoning it into old milk jugs! We actually didn't care too much at that time how we got the gas.
Still it was a solid road and fine scenery.
To the Hospital in Matagalpa today. Back to work.
