A Day in the Life

Life here in Nicaragua is passing by and things are going well, 3 weeks already. Every week day we go to the MCC office in the mornings to spend 2 hours with a tutor, which is a person the attends on of the Mennonite Churches in the area and receives a scholarship to attend University in partial exchange for their service. Then we go back to our host family for lunch. After a delicious meal (some times hot soup) we take the bus to our spanish school and have private lessons for 2 hours. We are both progressing very well in spanish and enjoy it most days. After that we head back to the office for some orientation and study time. Around 5 or so we head home and have a great dinner and spend time getting to know our host family better. Than being the studious people we are we usually study until we go to bed. So that is about what an average day looks like here in Nicaragua the land of lakes and volcanoes. And yes, Thanksgiving was just another Thursday down here ;(
