We made it to San Carlos this afternoon! This morning we packed up and went to the Managua airport to wait for our flight. It was a 12 passenger plane so the plane was a bit snug. It took us about 45 minutes to fly here and we landed at a tiny airport with a gravel landing strip.
Our guide, Willmer, met us at the airport and drove his truck right on the side of the landing strip to load our luggage in it. We are staying at a fairly nice place although the power already went out for a bit earlier and it sounds like running water is a little funky at certain times of the day.
Willmer just walked us around San Carlos and told us a bit about its history. It´s right on Lake Managua so we saw women washing clothes in the lake and a lot of people take a boat to Costa Rica from here. Willmer´s a funny guy and we are looking forward to working with him!
