Update

Week 3 in Nicaragua has come to a close. Pretty wild. The time has flown by, but looking back to the first day we arrived seems forever ago.

My schedule has been pretty much the same for the past few weeks: a lot of spanish class and a few technical sessions. Today though, we finally made our first school garden with about 10 students from 5th and 6th grade. As exhausting as it was, it was really nice to interact with the kids in a positive way. It was very gratifying to see how excited they were about the garden and really just playing with us gringos. They also have much better machete skills than I do and can climb trees really well. I have put some pictures up of the garden and the kids.

As for other things in Nicaragua, life is good. I'm still enjoying it all. I go this Sunday (not tomorrow but a week) to visit a volunteer somewhere in Nicaragua and get a glimpse into that life and a new place in Nicaragua. I am pretty excited about that.

I will try to update and will continue to add photos to my Picasa Web Album.
