I had some minor [major] car troubles yesterday, while Justin was out of town, and it reminded me of this early experience I had in Nicaragua'
Shortly after Justin and I moved to San Juan, he took off for a weeklong bachelor party in Colombia.? I knew the trip was planned before we even set foot on Nicaraguan soil, but I don't think I truly believed that Justin would actually leave me sola in Nicaragua just 5 weeks into our adventure, until he did.? Nevertheless, I wasn't going to be the girl...

I need to take a moment to brag a little here…
Justin and I crushed it in Managua last week.? I mean, we freaking rocked.?? Anyone who has ever ventured into Managua on a day trip understands this accomplishment.?
