Some Views of Managua

Greetings! So I´ve successfully downloaded some more photos for you, and this time you are getting a brief tour of the city I am living in, Managua!

This is Kenneth, Kenia, and I standing in front of Lake Managua, which is clearly far away cuz you can´t see it; and this was actually like my second day in Managua. Which feels like forever ago.

This is a copy of a popular painting of Sandino, who was the figure-head of the major revolution in Nicaragua. This was located in the Sandino Museum. (in Mangua)

This is our group standing in front of the Sandino sillhouette (sp?) that is on top of a large mountain/hill. I believe it was drawn by Ernesto Cardinal, who is an extremely famous poet in Nicaragua, who I will here speak in two weeks!!!! Once again: (left to right and top to bottom) Ryan, Juan, Anna, Kayla, Zeke, Liza, Abby, Irene (Trip Leader), Katie, Brooke, Kenia (my N. sister), Kenneth (my N. brother), Me, and Nieves (she is the N. sister of one of the students but I always forget.)

A nice view of the New Cathedral, which is where I attend mass every sunday at eleven. It looks strange but I do love going there.

Nicaraguan money! Very important, the exchange rate is 1 U.S. dollar equals 20 Nicaraguan córdobas.

The Sandino sillhuoette, which I can actually see from my second-floor room in the neighborhood I live in.

The Old Cathedral, which is no longer in use, but looks way prettier.

And finally a closer view of Lake Managua, which is super high right now, that road actually goes down to a dock that you could walk out on, thus those lamp post things.

Tomorrow I will hopefully get some pictures up from some excursions I´ve gone on outside of the city and definitely information about the service sites!

Much love and misses to all!
