Hey folks. Here's our 3rd entry into our steamy Niçaragua trip. We woke up around 8 to a delicious breakfast of bananas, pancakes, and syrup, which we devoured in a matter of seconds. After washing down breakfast with a mug of coffee, and feeling energized, we headed to day 2 of our Spanish classes. In today's lesson, we acted out dialogues between customers and vendors. Laughter and hi jinxed ensued. Feeling confident In our ways,we headed back to the Learning center to pick up construction where we left off. During the morning, we carried buckets of dirt and tied more rebar.
Tomorrow is filled with excursions as we take a break from the work. We will travel to Lake Niçaragua with some local students and the visit a historical prison and hike a volcano!
