After a long day of travel (18hrs) we arrived and were happily greeted by Margarita and Heyssel our in country leaders. We settled into Managua for the night in beautiful Hotel Gueguense (right across the street from the Presidents home). Our bus ride to Esteli was a little over 2 hours and filled with beauty the whole time! GREENERY surrounding in every direction. Upon arriving in Esteli we checked into Hotel Chico and had a delicious lunch followed by our 1st meeting. Our day focused on procedures, connecting with one another, getting to know our hostel staff, playing fun games during downtime, learning new things about one another, and overall bonding in all kinds of ways…we are all enjoying each other…

our adventure has begun..and will be continuing every moment here!!!
