This morning we got up really early to travel to Orlando. Some people slept
while others had to keep the driver awake. We almost missed our flight to
Ft. Lauderdale, but we made with 3 inutes to spare. After we landed in Ft.
Lauderdale, we had a really long layover. Some of us played a new game we
invented called Fronds. We ate pizza, and caught up with the rest of the
group. The plane ride to Managua was not bad. After we landed in Managua, we
put our stuff in the hotel right across the street and got ready to play
against the Nicaraguan Junior National Team. On our way to the match we
visited the Sandino Monument at Tiscapa and learned a little about the
history of Nicaragua and the city of Managua. There is a great view of the
entire city and lakefront from Tiscapa, but we didn¹t have much time to
spend up there because we were running late for our game.

We didn¹t play our best because we had traveled all day and we were very
tired, but we won in 4 sets and everyone got to play. After the match we
went back to the hotel for a nice buffet meal next to the pool and got to
bed early.
