A look around

Just some sites from around Trujillo to give you an idea of the beautiful area where we will be! Some interesting facts about Trujillo... Christopher Columbus landed there on August 14, 1502 on his 4th and last journey to the new world.

In the 19th Century the American mercenary William Walker, after successfully seizing the government of Nicaragua, then attempted to do the same of Costa Rica & Honduras. Walker was finally captured in Trujillo and put to death by firing squad. He was buried there and his grave is just down the hill from the school where we will be working.

These two pictures are the front entrance and courtyard of the hotel where we will be staying, the above during one of the cooling brief afternoon showers.

The cathedral in the city's center

Several of the pictures are from the old fort looking over the sea
