Yes!!! It is the Tian Tan Buddha. When I was there the cable cars were not working and I had to take about a one-hour bus ride to get there from my hotel near the airport. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| theodores Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 2 Posts: 85 | Yes, good get. I guess the "A.C. Sandino" inscription on the quote gave it away. I've never heard of the FNT, though. (Thought it was the FSLN?) |
