Selva Negra part two

The second group had their midterm trip this weekend to Selva Negra. It rained the whole weekend, thus I did not get to go horseback riding again. But everyone else went and just got soaked...I think they had a good time though.

The highlight of the weekend without a doubt was that I got to take a hot shower. I haven`t had a hot shower since I left the states...it was amazing! Generally there is no need for a hot shower here since it`s so hot, but in Selva Negra its colder so the hot shower was quite necessary. Also, there were no pancakes at the buffet this time...there was french toast, or something similar and fully of sugary goodness.

We stayed a bit extra in the hotel to watch the World Cup finals on the communal tv. It was quite exciting, I`m glad that I was able to see it. I was wondering...which do you think makes more money...the cities that host the olympics or those that host the world cup? I haven`t made up my mind about that yet.

When we got back yesterday the streets of Masaya were FULL of water. It had been raining all weekend here as well...and the drainage is less than functional. So I puddle hopped my way home...I got wet but I felt like I was in a life size board game, trying to find where I could cross the gushing streams of water. I won the game, home safe and sound.
