He was telling me that times were hard for everybody. One would think that they make a nice income, but when he told me that it is around $100 a month, I was shocked. He also told me that he had bought a new toilet, and that he had to buy it on credit. And he is glad to have such a good job!
Anyway, walking down from the store, I saw a family that had cleaned out the closet and was selling their used clothes in the garage to make ends meet. Others walk around with a bathroom scale and ask one peso if people want to know their weight. I still always admire the inventiveness of Nicaraguans to find a way to make some kind of income.
Also this morning, I met Oscar. One of the Chavalos that receives a hot meal every week.
His flip flops had given up and he nicely asked if he could have a new pair.
