A la Laguna!
Yesterday, I went swimming in a lake here. It is actually the crater of a dormant volcano that is now a lake. It was BEAUTIFUL! Seriously, it was so pretty, the water is this deep blue and the trees so green, it was a nice little getaway. Unfortunately there was some drama involved in getting everyone there and back. But lesson learned, when I want to go relax I´m not taking the students with me. Ever.
In other news, today there is no running water in Masaya. Awesome. It´s all good though, becuase I´ve gotten used to being sweaty all the time so no worries. I told my host mom that I love mangos, so they got some for me at the market. Mangos really make everything better.
Work is coming along...there are lots of little things that I took for granted in the US that are becoming apparent here. Like having accessible internet whenever I want, or being able to print things, or make phone calls or have a face to face conversation with the people I am working with. So, if you are reading this from the US be thankful that you have those things available. But, no pristine volcanic lakes there...hahaha.
I think that tomorrow I will be going to Matagalpa. Its a three hour trip, up to the country. Everyone says its very pretty there, and thats where the coffee co-ops are, so I´m going to try to see if I can get a tour.
Also, I´m considering seeing the Da Vinci Code this weekend...is it worth the trip to Managua?
