Nicaragua!

Hello all! If you haven´t heard I´m currently taking a two week hiatus from work to travel Nicaragua and Honduras with my fiance (just got that new title upgrade).  I hope you follow along on our journey!

Our first night we flew into Managua from Houston late in the evening and took a sketchy taxi ride before making it to our hostel safely.  The next morning we left as quickly as possible for Granada via the UCA bus terminal (where nearly all domestic transfers depart from).  The bus terminal we just buses lined up with men shouting at everybody where there bus would go, and following no set schedule they just leave when it's full. We would not see a true bus station on the entire trip until San Pedro Sula.  (Even in the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, there are no bus stations -- every company operates its buses out of its own "stop", usually a ticket window on the side the street with a small waiting area, ie. 4-person bench.)

We started our trip with some good local street food, and were on our way to Granada.
