We have finally made it and are so glad we have an awesome group of students and a top notch in country team! Here are some of the highlights of our day:
1) Arriving safely with all of our luggage.
2) We got the highlight tour of Mangua and then stopped at Comedor Marlene to have an excellent lunch full of rice, beans, ,vegetables, protein, and tropical fruit juice.
3) RAIN! To counteract the 100-degree plus temperatures in the capital, the ride up to Esteli was remarkable in that there were periodic showers. If we could send it home, we would.
4) After settling in at our cozy hotel, and experiencing our first nightly meeting, we’re heading to bed in anticipation of three awesome weeks, beginning with our walking city tour tomorrow.
Thanks for being so courageous* by encouraging and supporting your children in this life-altering experience.
Your local Global Glimpse Leaders,

Having fun in Managua!
YAY STEPHEN, KATHY, VIVIAN, DAVID, AND ELSA 🙂
Hi to the Andrew Hill Glimpsers! YOU MADE IT! It probably all feels surreal right now, and I know you all are going to have the time of your lives! Don’t forget all the advice the Ahill ambassadors gave while you are on your trip:) I’m so excited to read the blogs every single night! Hopefully they read these comments to you guys over there like they did for us last year… Haha! P.S…. David, Did you give Henrietta the letter??? Me, and the rest of Esteli 1A 2014 miss you Henrietta and Umberto!!
Love,
Heather
I’m glad you guys have safely arrived! First off, HENRIETTA, I miss you & Esteli so much! I still remember the excitement from last year when I hopped off the plane.
ANDREW HILL KIDS, hope you’re all having a great time so far and just so you know… the finals is currently 2-1, with the Warriors down. Hopefully Game 4 will treat them better!
