I thought I would show you a couple of pictures of the “Chicken Buses” like we rode from Managua to Granada. The whole experience is so surreal that you feel like its all normal life –which of course it is for the people of this land. In all reality it was not bad – reminds you of riding to school. Well, it should as that is exactly what they are –old worn out US school buses that have been imported and “customized” to suit somebody –they are all unique in their own way.
To start off you have to identify which bus you actually want as to where it is going-that can be a real challenge as ALL the buses slow down at the stop when they see “norteamericanos” standing there. Once you get on the right bus – you just go find a seat –for us we picked a good time as there were not too many riders-and no animals this time either! They don’t call them chicken buses for nothing you know!
Then a guy comes down the aisle collecting the fair – we were worried because Cassandra was lacking enough for what we were told the fair was by a couple of Córdoba's. It did not matter it seemed in the end. If you handed him a few coins – he went on to the next passenger – if you asked – like the people behind me – they got charged 14 Córdoba's – we all paid 12 and Cassandra only paid 11. We could have given less. It is a mas o menos affair like a lot of things here.
Well, Kathleen will probably still log her own version of the trip so stay tuned…. We’ll probably give and update or two after we enjoy our first Circuit Assembly here in Costa Rica! Woo Hoo! Until then….
