Day 7 Nica

July 16, 2012 Today we got a late start. We all seemed to be suffering with a little tummy trouble. We went and found a Quiznos for lunch and was quite a bit better after that. We drove a curvy hilly road to the ocean passing by some police that wanted us to pull over, but we just drove on by. Then went to a beach called pocho mil. We got to this spot and we were led through trees and around little buildings down to palm frond covered pergolas. It had two tables and a hammock. We walked along the beach for a little bit and relaxed under the pergola. We even parked the car under there. Brandon really likes the hammocks and wanted to get one to take back, but did not know quite how to get it back and what to do with it if he brought one  back. He relaxed in the hammock.  On our way back in to Managua, we stopped by another family that the mother cooked and washed for the missionaries. She even brought food to Brandon and his companion when they were sick. There home was very modest but they have tried really hard to make it a nice place. Planted some flowers and plants around. That is not done a whole lot in the poorer areas. We stopped and ate at McDonald's. Brandon commented that in Nicaragua McDonald's is a nicer place to eat. Came back to the hotel and we are getting stuff cleaned up for a long day in airports tomorrow.
