Managua: Last Entry

Posted by & filed under Central America 2009.

I’m nervous. Tonight is my last night in England for 26 days but I’m not nervous about going to a different country, or that it might be dangerous or even the language, no its the weather! The summer here in England has been terrible and I have put all my eggs into one Central American… Read more »
