July 6

Today began with a run followed by spanish lessons that involved an overload of vocabulary (vocabulario). After a delicious lunch of drumsticks in a kind of spicy sauce, we went to a fortress near Massaya. This fortress was initially used for military purposes, was then used as a cruel prison for military and political prisoners, and then more recently a satanic cult. This fortress was used as a prison until the eighties at which point they practiced many inhumane torchure methods.
