en nicaragua

for those who drop in even though I said I would be gone... bonus!

We have just arrived nicaragua. flew in to managua at about 2 and made it to the town of alhambra on lake managua.

the flying has been stunning. unbelievable. and easy. customs in San Salvador (El Salvador) yesterday was more of a chance for men with machine guns to shake our hands and thank us for buying fuel. And ask how fast the airplane goes. We had dinner at friends of friends from Seattle in the out-of-africa-esque home overlooking the city, replete with Pip, whose accent could easily have been coming out of Prince Charles.

We will stay here in nicaragua for two nights, then on to panama city for two more. then a long haul to honduras and guatemala.

all in all a severly excellent trip in very hot climes, interrupted by good food and some spectacular flying. I am coming back (here) soon.. C
