Some shots of the border crossing from Honduras into Nicaragua.

Just a random sky shot while parked this afternoon in Ocatal, Nicaragua.

We made it to Jalapa, Nicaragua and were greeted with a 4 motorcycle escort. 8 of the youth from the Jalapa church (on 4 motorcycles) met us about 10 miles outside of town and led us in into town in the dark.
They gave us each Nicaragua flags to stick to our bikes. It became dark before we hit town but we still drove through all of the main streets beeping, hootin' and hollerin'! It was a blast!
They gave us a very nice reception at the church. What a blessing it is to be a blessing to the fine young people!
The young guy with me in front of of the banner is Rey. He recognized me from my two previous trips down here. Literally melted my heart talking with him. Thank you Lord!

We got to the motel well after dark. This is literally the view from my motel window tonight:-) Fortunately, I love goats!

Real funny God! Perhaps you could be a little more subtle:-) Other than the lack of safety it was effective in warming the water for a much needed shower.
