Our route to the
Roasting corn
street side.
Gasoline is over a dollar
per liter here.... about
$5.00 per gallon.
One of many Nativity Scenes
that line Avenue Bolivar.
Eric parked the car on the median at Dupla Sur and gave a man a small amount of money to watch the car for us. This is a common practice here.
Transformer-like play area
at the Parque de Luis
This park is undergoing
major renovations.
The National Museum is at Dupla Norte. I feel very successful today because we navigated to this section of Managua, found parking and have plenty of time to visit the museum.

Managua Traffic Update: Eric & I were following Julian & Emma in evening rush hour traffic in Managua today. Bumper to bumper traffic developed. There was a break in the curb on the left lane and people started driving on the wrong side of the median. One lane, and then two lanes were traveling in the wrong direction!
We passed an accident on the right and a disabled car on the left a little further down.
Next thing I know, cars are entering the left lane from the traffic that was driving on the wrong side of the median.
Eric followed Julian very closely. At an intersection, a car from each direction was bearing down on Eric. They got so close, Eric thought our rental car had an extra coat of paint, we would be involved in an accident.
So.... Eric & Julian are amazing drivers.... We got to the house southwest of Managua safely.
I have never driven in NYC or any large city.
This was a hair raising experience for me.
