Visiting Nicaragua

10 years ago

Hi, everyone. I finally made it to Granada and am having to recover all of my belongings. I was robbed on the highway between Managua and Granada. Someone punched a hole in my tire, and when I stopped a couple offered help. One of them distracted me helping with the tire while the other one stole my backpack out of the front seat and then they both took off.

Anyway, I have to go to Managua on Monday to get a new passport and will need to have some money wired as soon as I have an ID to do so. If anyone has suggestions or advice on the best way to get to the embassy from Granada, that would be helpful. If anyone is available to meet today or this evening, that would be great as well.

I did have a spare phone in my luggage and have activated that here today. My phone # is 87342623. Unfortunately, my computer was stolen as well, and that contained my entire consulting business. I have a backup in the states but am having to use internet cafes for the duration of my trip.

If anyone knows where I can rent or buy a cheap laptop, that would be helpful too.

Fortunately I had put most of my money inside my suitcase, so they didn´t get a lot of cash and I have enough to pay for my passport and gas for the rental car.

Just wanted to connect, as it´s been a harrowing day for me and would be nice to join some friends for a beer or two...
