July 8/2011

This morning began with a run, followed by our orientation week spanish lessons yet again for the morning. Afterwhich we had an"amazing race" which involved us running around Jinotepe doing various tasks like buying 6 bananas for twenty cents, mailing a postcard to canada, which was fifty cents, and taking pictures in various areas of Jinotepe. It was very fun, but we did not finish everything in the alloted hour. Afterwards we went to the market and bought a few snacks and drinks, had supper, and now may potentially be going out for an evening beverage. The more time I spend here, the more I grow fond of the people here. Initially I was scared of everyone, but have since come to realize (while you still have to keep your guard up) Nicaraguans are very friendly but very curious people.
