First stepping off the plane into Managua I had no idea what I got myself into to but I slowly realized that everything was going to be okay. We breezed through customs, ate an amazing lunch and got real fruit smoothies all with in the first hour. My first impressions...

Wow! So far, I have spent two weeks in Mexico. What an amazing place! There is so much culture and history here! The first things I noticed were how old all the buildings were. For some reason, I realized I associate old with broken down… I guess it comes from...
