I stick out like a sore pinky :)
I still don´t know enough Spanish to survive alone. I had trouble changing a 100 cordoba bill for c$10 bills today. I did not learn that skill in Spanish class, but it´s necessary here. Imagine handing a $100 bill to a hot dog vendor--nobody´s going to have change!
We had rice and beans for dinner yesterday as well as breakfast and dinner today. I think that this is only the beginning. Those were just the common elements; there was much more delicious food. The fruit juices were freshly squeezed with a bit of water and sugar--orange, passion fruit, lemonade, and more. They are fantastic!
We talked with some 8- and 9-year-old kids today. I cannot speak at a second-grade level :-) I do need to practice.
ciao!

Wow, it must be weird not being able to keep up with little kids when talking!
Glad you made it there safe and sound though! I look forward to hearing more about your adventures!
By the way, Miriam asked me if Nicaragua is anywhere near Arizona, because she got some more books about the desert from Aunt Sharon, and she was curious... I told her no, but to be honest I can't exactly place Nicaragua on a map so I'll have to go find it and show her sometime! :)
Lol :)
Gracias.
It´s between Honduras and Costa Rica, in Central America. It´s mountains and trees here, not desert, but it is hot.
