Day 1

We've touched down in Managua after a long day of traveling - inclement yet not-so-surprising weather in Chicago almost stranded us in Miami. Unfortunately it seems that we won't make it to site until Friday, which may set us back a day or two. On the plus side, however, the team has the opportunity to spend the next two days in Managua and get settled into way of life here. I'm excited to see the progress the community has made on bridge construction so far, and it'll be nice to finally be immersed in the community in which we'll be working. As of now we're idling at the local backpacker's inn, but after a couple drinks and nice conversation we'll be ready for the day tomorrow. More to come...
