Had a great time trying to describe to the taxi driver that we wanted to go one of the sketchier neighborhoods and just be dropped off there. Fortunately we were armed with the knowledge of google maps and a general idea of our contact's place. Augustine, across from the truck lot, had what we needed to complete our mission for the new EWB nicraragua team.
With much difficulty in understanding, we established that we were there to take dimensions and pictures of the proposed new school site. Began digging a deep hole too to take some soil samples, while we used an incremented string to take the rough dimensions of the site.
Break of Coke (with sugar!) out of plastic bags...definitely had to relearn how to drink.
Finished up and crashed for the night in Managua city in preparation for our bus the next morning...

The team was able to tackle a day of measuring work easily.
Old Cal Poly EWB Project Site: I played a part in this health center's foundation. Good to be back.
