Day 102 - Nicaragua

(Ursula) We searched every place this morning, but Büsi was nowhere to be found. Was he hiding somewhere, or did he get lost? We resumed our search after breakfast and finally found him tucked under the front driver seat where he had been all night.

There isn’t much new to say about the landscape. It was mountainous and sub-tropical, similar to Guatemala and El Salvador.

We noticed billboards with advertisements of American companies and products as we approached the capital Managua. The city wasn’t impressive at all. Not much had been rebuilt since the 1972 earthquake. The city center looked like a war zone.
