Day Three - Gallery of Heroes and Martyrs

Ruth and I stopped by the The Gallery of Heroes and Martyrs on our walk today. It was started by group of over 300 mothers who lost children to the battle against Somoza’s National Guard. So many young people died in the war, and Ruth said that our family knew most of them. Also, she said the museum wasn’t open all the time, but now with the new Sandinista president, she hoped it would be.

The view from the outside.
And the inside.

Tonight we stopped by a restaurant one of the taxi drivers said had authentic Chinese food. By authentic, he meant owned by a Chinaman (is that the right nomenclature?) The only thing Asian on the menu was Chop Suey, so we ordered it. On this huge plate of veggies/pork/chow mein noodles were two spurts of ketchup and one of mustard. I really don’t like the taste of ketchup on anything except really salty fries, and here it’s garnish.
