Managua

So we spent a night in Managua... (Just to follow the "dont stay in capitals advice"). Thing is, the bus got late again... There are very few tourists in Managua, but it is very different from Tegucigalpa. There's much more space between buildings, and the feeling of insecurity is much lesser. Revolution is all over the place, as proves the next picture (does that look like christmas spirit to you?)

Just as Tegucigalpa, the last earthquake (1972) has left strong marks. The clock of this chuch is still stuck on the time of the earthquake.
The government is trying as hard as it can apparently. On the 5th, all kids were invited to the capital for partying. Free transportation, free food, free rollercoasters for everyone! ( I would not go on one of the rollercoasters we saw though...)

Bonjour,
Qu'est devenu le fameux joker que Pierre a acquis il y a quelques jours au Honduras ? Le suspens est quasi insoutenable...
