Transportation Options in Nicaragua

Hello All,

This week we want to share with you some of the many modes of transportation in Nicaragua.  Being a poorer country (many say the 2nd poorest in the western hemisphere), not many folks have cars, especially out in rural areas.  On our last trip to Nicaragua in December/January, Kayley and I decided to try to get as many photos of different types of transportation available and here are a few of our favorites.

This is a mototaxi (we called it a tuk-tuk in Guate).  Kayley loved riding these.

Here is your non-motorized tuk-tuk.  A little more work involved in this one.

Old buses are seen in all parts of Nicaragua.  They are the main mode of longer ride transportation.

Just had to include our van with 17 people inside.  Not sure if this was legal or not, especially since we never could shut the side door!

This is our concrete mix arriving at the work site on horse and buggy.

Another horse and buggy making its way down the road.

Pray for David as he leaves for Nicaragua tomorrow.  Short trip this time; he will return on Thursday.  The kids are keeping busy with regular school work and with basketball. Kayley has decided to give BB a try this year.  She has been practicing shooting hoops here on campus.  Here she is taking a break from the court. 


Lastly, here is an updated photo of our family.  We need to get new prayer cards made, so we took a bunch of shots a couple of weeks ago.  The kids keep growing that parents keep getting older.  (Happy Birthday David!).  
Thanks so much for your prayers and love.  Hope to run into you this summer when we travel in the USA for home assignment.  

God bless you all!
The Webb family
