Arrival in Managua

After sitting on the runway for an extra hour in Atlanta while the crew raced around looking for H1N1 symptoms forms we all had to fill out, we finally made it. I met up with the rest of my party easily enough. They had arrived about a half hour before and were still standing in customs when I found them.

The hotel we're staying in is very nice. And there's wireless Internet. What's not to like?

The doctors of La Merced are working in conjunction with the Catholic parish in Salisbury and the local one here in Managua. Consequently, they work very closely here with the church. Tomorrow we will be rising early for breakfast and then Mass. I believe they will take us around the city after that for an overview and a bit of history.

The real work will kick in on Monday. Stay tuned. Hopefully there will be some pics to post with tomorrows.

Really, I haven't slept in 42 hours (well, except for maybe 2.5 hours on a plane), so tomorrow's post should be a bit more interesting!
