Nicaragua: Day 2 (Part A)

Once we landed in Managua, we drove to Matagalpa. The drive took about 2-3 hours to get to the other town. Matagalpa was the town we stayed in for the week, at a wonderful hotel. It was a nice, open air hotel with the most beautiful trees, flowering plants, etc. We had fresh breakfast and dinner at the hotel each day. We usually ate lunch at the site we were working at during the week. Here are a few pictures of the town of Matagalpa.

We had the chance to walk around town a little before church on Sunday morning. This is a picture taken looking up the hill.



This is the First Baptist Church of Matagalpa. We had worship service there in the morning, ate lunch and were able to get to know some of the congregation as well.



Sunday afternoon was spent sorting, counting, labeling, sorting, counting, labeling, sorting, counting, labeling all the medical supplies and medicine that we brought with us. It was loads of fun. What I didn't know at this time, was that I would be sorting, counting, and labeling for the week too. I worked in the pharmacy with a few others. Here are some pictures of us preparing on Sunday afternoon.
