It is 10 Pm in Nicaragua and after a long day of struggles and miscommunications all members of the trip have safely arrived at the Camino Real hotel in Managua, with only the minimum scaring memories. While most of the group began their journey together at the Dulles airport this morning, our two founders, Alexis Sommerville and Morgan Tomasso, took separate and slightly more complicated routes. Lexi awoke this morning with bad news of cancelled flights, but because of her persistent mindset found a way to get around the weather. Conquering three US cities, Charleston, Charlotte, and Miami, she finally arrived safely in our new humid oven we like to call home, paying only 15 dollars for the 2 minute taxi ride to get to the hotel. Morgan, on the other hand, took a more educational path, flying from Virginia to Houston on Friday in order to crush her ACT this morning. She payed an even better deal of 10 dollars for the long and dreadful two minute taxi ride. The rest of the gang survived our journey through monstrous bug attacks, interesting encounters with sobbing strangers, and colorblind misremembrances when looking for luggage. But, the day finally came to a great end with the help of our new best friend and Fabretto volunteer Kacey, great nachos, and a nice night swim in the pool.
