The Pierce family finally made it to Nicaragua.  It is what we’ve been preparing for for a long time.  We didn’t get into the Managua airport until about 7 pm, leaving no time to get out of time.  So, after one night in a flea-bag hotel we took a taxi to Granada and are living it up in a fancy hotel for one night before we get picked up and go out to our village in Chinandega tomorrow morning.  Without exception, everyone we tell that we are going to Chinandega for two weeks says the same thing, “Chinandega.  Oh, hace calor.”  It’s hot there.  Which is saying a lot, because Robert is about to die from the heat in Granada.
