Where Are We, Anyway?

As you know from the previous blog postings, the schedule was shifted out a day due to the pastors' bus mechanical failure.  So, we did Friday's planned explorations today instead.

Chuck and Lynn posted pictures and video, but maybe you wonder where in the world we are.  Well, okay -- you know we are in Puerto Cavezas, Nicaragua.  But if you're interested in some details about where we went today, I saved some GPS waypoints to show you in Google Maps.  (If you choose Satellite from the Google Maps web page, you'll get a nice birds-eye view.  Of course, you can zoom in for detail, or out for context -- all the way out to the world view if you'd like.)

First off, here is the Verbo Compound where we are staying:

The Verbo church is nearby:

Here is the Betania farm we visited today.  (The satellite image is too old to show any development yet.

We kept going to the Wawa River, where there is a ferry terminal surrounded by hopeful street vendors.

Here is a GPS track of the whole drive from the ferry back to the Verbo compound.

All in all, it was a rewarding day.  Tomorrow, we hit the ground running with the pastors conference; they are all here now, safe and sound!  :-)
