We checked into the Holiday Inn Managua on Friday night and will be here through the following Friday before leaving for San Salvador, El Salvador. It appears to be the nicest hotel in town demonstrated by the wedding reception on Friday and Saturday, a party on Sunday, and a Bastille Day celebration on Monday with the French Ambassador and the who’s who of Nicaragua politics in attendance, not to mention the policia nacional.
View from my third floor king non-smoking room. It is a beautiful view or the pool, patio, fitness center, and the lush forested rolling hills of Managua. The fitness center is nice, but not air conditioned.
Each morning we eat at the breakfast buffet provided at the hotel. I have been living on made to order omelets (green olives and cheese) and rice and black beans and a pastry with the best orange juice I have ever had. I am pictured here with Valerie.
