Granada, Nicaragua

Jim Jack and I met at the airport yesterday morning and made our way to Houston where we met Roma Downey and her daughter, Reilly, at the gate of the second leg of the trip to Granada, Nicaragua. Landing in Managua several hours later it was hot and humid.

A forty minute car ride brought us to Granada. A dinner at an outdoor restaurant and then back to the hotel for a few hours of sleep before our taping begins. The heavens opened up shortly after getting into my hotel room and the roof leaked right above the table where I had stored all my gear. I moved it quickly and went to sleep to the sound of rain pounding away.

Now it is 5 am and after a cold shower in the bathroom down the hall I am organizing equipment for the day. We'll meet Roma and Reilly at the hospital and see the families who will have come from far and wide hoping to get surgery for their children.

All in all, it's good to be here for Operation Smile in Nicaragua.
