May 30th is Mother's Day here every year, regardless of the day of the week. Mom and I woke up after the power returned at 3:30 am and once the sun came up went to grab breakfast. Leon had no water or cable/internet/phone across the whole city. Our house had power, but it was in one of the only areas that did get power back Friday morning.
We watched Amazing Grace at my place and then caught a ride out to the entrance of Chichigalpa with my neighbors. Mike, Mike, and Maria were taking out a lot of tarp to fix some houses in Chinadega. Mom and I wanted to go and visit some people in the villages and see how bad the storm had left the area.
Along the road on the way out, we saw many large trees and powerline poles laying on the ground, but by the time we got into Chichigalpa things looked better. Nothing larger than wrist width limbs were down and the dirt roads were badly washed. We got to La Isla and crossed the river by foot.
We spent time visiting with Rosa and her family. They were still without power, but did not suffer any real damage to their house or yard. We caught the bus home and I took mom out for dinner at Solera.
