Photos are 1s and 0s


Granda at 6 AM on the way to school for the Rivas hospital visit

 


Stuffing the entire group of 25 into a 17 passenger van

 


Bees!?! (mandatory {} joke)

 


The welding ground for the stick welder in the repair shop in the Rivas hospital (Note a good ground should not look like this)

 


Oxygen tanks waiting to become missiles if they break their tops off. Usually these should be chained to the wall

 


That is one messed fan

 


More old equipment unceremoniously dumped for later use for spare parts
 

 


Fancy ultrasonic machine from León that broke after 3 days

 


Holy crud! That machine is running VHS! Put Road Construction in there and let’s fix it!

 

Another example of broken equipment just stacked around (couple old bilirubin lights, and a radiant infant warmer)

 


Another sick looking doggie that needs a chewbone and an IV outside the Rivas Hospital

 


Squeezing 6 people into 4 taxi seats headed to San Jorge (Ron, Evan, Karthik and I in the back with Alex and Mark upfront)

 

That 110 Rover I described back on day 18 or so (at the ferry dock in San Jorge)

 


The beachhead at San Jorge (not quite the white sandy beaches right?)

 


The two volcanos (Concepción on the left and Maderas on the right) on the isla of Ometepe

 

The ferry dock at Moyogalpa on Ometepe

 


The rooms at the back of the American in Moyogalpa on Ometepe

 


A good series Rover ready for action!

 


The trail leading to the base of Concepción




The trail

 

The following are pictures of hiking Concepción:

 

 














The group on the top minus Emily



 

 


 


Heading down the volcano

 

 
Just starring at me with its head held high

 


Local kids playing around the bus stop

 


Cattle herd near the bus stop

 

Eminem would not approve (on the bus back to Moyogalpa)

 


The good salad at the Corner House after hiking Concepción

  


The downpour outside the American Café and Hotel

 


Obligatory photo of rain

 


Sorry doogie! Shouldn’t have used the flash




Now those are enough pancakes! (Simone’s cooking at the American)

 

Another Rover tucked away on Ometepe

 

Hidden under the steps on the ferry between San Jorge and Moyogalpa (Much work has been done)

 


Some Chinese food at a Chinese restaurant in Granada
