Manauga Errands & Larry Sellers

Sergio, Scarleth, and I spent Monday morning getting things done in the village and came back to Leon early afternoon. Sergio and I went on to Managua to run errands in the afternoon before Larry Sellers flight came in at 8:30.

We went to Claro to see about a new USB hookup that has come out for a good price to maybe get internet at the church at Candelaria, but it is was sold out. We went to 3 other stores and they are sold out too, but we did enough research on the modem to think it will work for me to have internet from the village, so I am hoping to buy one in the first week of the new year once more stores have them in stock.

We also went to compare prices and sizes of freezers for the bakery that is going to be opening when school starts back in February. The Gables air conditioner has been acting up for the last couple weeks, and they dont have the fix for it in Leon, so we took the control part of it to a guy Sergio knows in Managua that can hopefully get it fixed soon.

I also went and talked with the international phone company, about the Barnums phone ringing busy or having no dial tone in and out for the past couple weeks.

To pass our last couple hours we spent time walking around the mall and visiting a couple more Claro stores. We ate at the food court, and I had Quizno's for the first time I think in 2008. It was the highlight of my holidays. Larry made it in on time and got all of his luggage through. We all got back to Leon around 11:00 ready for bed.
