Our day started at our favorite restaurant, El Comedor, where Don Carlos made us some delicious omelets. After breakfast we come back to our hostel and receive an educational seminar about culture from our Global Glimpse Leaders. Then we traveled to San Juan de Oriente to Don José ‘s pottery shop and we learned how to make the pottery and also painted some already made vases. We traveled back to Granada and on the bus ride back we were struggling to find an American radio station but we eventually found one. It was time for lunch and we had Vigoron, which has yucca, pork rinds, and cabbage. We had planned two other activities for the rest of the day but sadly they were cancelled but the group still had such a positive attitude and stayed flexible. So instead of our two activities we walked through the city of Granada and walked down to the shore of Lake Nicaragua, which was so beautiful.
My favorite part of the day was seeing how the group reacted so well to the change, and the change wasn’t a bad thing at all. Seeing the city of Granada was so exciting, even though the walking wasn’t really fun the sights were amazing. Also, painting the pottery was so fun (I didn’t have fun sculpting because my skin got scrapped off by the wheel -__-) , it was also nice to see how Don José uses his love of art to connect with his culture.
Hi Ena!! Hi Mccall!! We love and miss you guys a lot!!! You guys better have not forgotten about us because we were your first delegation and the BEST DELEGATION of course. G1A 😀 (You guys better be wearing the bracelets I bought you!!) I can’t believe it’s been more than a month since we left you guys :((( It stills feels weird to wake up everyday and not see you guys. I’ll always remember our hilarious dinner conversations where we managed to fit 6 people on a 4 people table. (Squishing a bit was worth to sit with you guys <3) If you can't already tell by our snapchats to you guys, we really miss our big sisters Ena and Mac. The G1A fam is waiting for you guys to be free to Skype with us so as soon as you get the chance let us know and we'll get on Skype right away! :)))
Neta says that she misses you guys SO MUCH and that she miss Granada!!
Im always remembering you guys and all our fun moments and i can't wait to see you guys again sending loooots of love to you Ena & McCall -Laleska
Tiffanie says that she misses and loves you guys a lot and that every time we argue we think about you guys. When we snapchat our skype calls to you guys it's to keep you guys updated on the G1A: Daily Lives After The Trip. We're basically a TV show because Andres, Laleska, and Tiffanie are always arguing with one other. It's always either Laleska and Andres or Andres and Tiffanie or Laleska and Tiffanie against Andres Ha ha.
Andres is doing a lot of homework right now but he would probably say that he loves and misses you guys too and he can't wait to be able to talk to you guys!
-from the 4 people dinner table squad (Tiffanie, Laleska, Andres, and Vivian) <3
PS. just a warning when you guys Skype us, it'll be REALLY QUIET and CLEAR until LALESKA joins us cos she always has hecka static going on lol
Hm, Mac and Ena, must be nice to get taken to the Lake. Haha, just kidding. Hope you guys had fun and way to be flexible as it’ll happen like six more times on your trip (:
Sorry to hear about your pottery experience, Hayle :O
I think this experience for the glimpsters is a great one. They got to learn about other culture and to see how different people live in other places. They will have this experience to share with their friends and families. Thanks to Global Glimpse for allowing our children to see the way of life in other culture. Sometimes the experience will make you think differently about life and how we take a lot of things for granted . You guys have a great time inspite of the situation. There will be great experience and maybe not so great but remember that is how life is try to enjoy any how. Have a wonderful time enjoy take lot of pics can’t wait to share ur experience I wish the pics was much clearer glad to see them anyway sorry u got a hurt hope u feel much better now all the best to the group
