Thursday May 27 - Early Return to Managua

Last night Jairo spoke with Kim and Nathan and they recommended we return to Managua today. Since the road was not passable yesterday, it was for sure not passable today. This was hard for the team to hear since we did not get to finish our time in El Ojoche abd could not do the pottery work with the community. I know Keith and Lauren were especially excited to do pottery and we had to miss that. It was also sad to leave without saying goodbye. Anyway, we drove back to Managua this morning and spent the afternoon at the Nehemiah center. We got to watch some videos made by students about the communities and it was particularly cool to see a recent video made about El Ojoche. I liked seeing more of the community that we missed out on, but it was also a sad reminder of what we could have done there. We got to go to the movies in the evening which made Joey really happy. We saw Prince of Persia which was awesome and the theater was soo cool. They have "VIP" theaters in Nicaragua in which you sit in Lazy Boy recliners and they bring food to your seat when you press a button!
