Today was very similar to Sunday because we were not able to secure any opportunities to teach and share with teams. This was originally scheduled to be our off day to go exploring and we decided to stay with that plan, still hopeful God would give us the privilege of loving and serving his people through baseball. The last two days here have been about his people, but simply without baseball. It's been fruitful in terms of relationships and serving others, but our only lament is no more baseball.
Phil and Bob told us to go ahead and use the service provided by the hotel to drive their guests around. The sudden realization of this being a legitimate means of travel sparked a simultaneous "Oh, we could have done this yesterday" comment from both JD and I.
I cannot imagine us trying to get out of Managua in our own car today, because every major road was blocked off due to this being a holiday complete with an enormous parade. The hotel staff rolled their eyes at the parade and we even heard a clear American expression, "It's lame".

Our driver zig-zagged his way through Managua and eventually got us out by effectively using his horn and stick shift to set us on the road to Granada. There was plenty of conversation between our driver and JD, albeit not lengthy in nature, but rather informative.
