The U.S. secretary of defense along with the defense ministers of the Americas arrived today in Managua for a three day meeting on regional security matters. According the the Nica Army press office we would have access to the arrivals at the airport and we arrived as scheduled to the airport entrance. There we where informed that there would be no access, so out we go running the streets getting a security feature for publication.

I got three. Here they are.
