Contact Admin. Got up late had breakfast in the little place from yesterday. Saw some Russian sailors; made our way to the edge of town. Red pickup to the cotton plant on the carretera, then we hitched aboard another pickup to the Chinandega-Leon Highway.
Long wait and some walking, a large military convoy passed us going to Chinandega, the most soldiers I have ever seen in one column in Nicaragua.
Got a truck, a grey Kama3 with an Empty bed, like yesterday a beautiful ride. By accident we got off 8 km from Leon but with weird luck the same damn grey truck appeared and picked us up again.
Mike and I made it for the train station on foot and I started bitching about my damn typewriter. I had hurt my back hauling it around all yesterday and the back of my shoulder was sore.
I took it out of my pack and was ready to donate it to anywhere in particular. I held on to it. We got some drinks and waited for the train to move for an hour. Then we spent four dusty but whimsical hours in a cattle car getting up to El Sauce, such fun. It is great really, with a nice ambiente , people are friendly. Yeah, there are pigs in the street but they keep the place clean.
