Today was a loooong day! We started the mornig off learning about the history and politics of Nicaragua. After a long informational session, the 19 of us boarded on four horse carriages to ride around and complete a city tour. Original plans were to walk the city tour, but the increased temperature, and the quick thinking of Carla, got us all on the sweet, cool, horse carriage ride. From the carriage rides we went to the Museum, where we met and spoke with a local historian. The historian, Jorge Diaz, was a walking encyclopedia, as Carla mentioned to us. At the museum, we did not only learn history about Nicaragua, but each other, thanks to GGL Thao, and her quick icebreaking games. Who would of thought that one person has a pet peeve for eyeballs and about other eight other students who shared the same fear for heights! We then had another political speaker, an icebcream stop, a little shopping and dinner later at a local resturant in town. By then, we were almost ready to call it a day. However, not before a nice walk and city tour on foot this time to the Largest Lake in Central America, Lago…we will put that on the next blog. Off to bed, another full day tomorrow!!

Due to the increased temperature, Kindly remind all kids to refill water container with vitalites if they have. Trash leftover water at night refilling for next day to avoid virus due to high temperature.
Enjoy your journey and stay safe and sound! Happy to hear that everyone is learning something new.
Love you All!
Kimberly,
Warriors won 108-97. Monday’s game at Oracle. First time I saw Curry so mad at Lebron.
I am glad everybody is safe and is enjoying everything you witnessed and experienced. Please remember to pray for safety of all members of the group and mentors. Extremely happy to hear from you today.
Love,
Dad, mom and Yeepy
I love you Engy! Hope you’re having fun and enjoying this expirence with new friends. We love you and miss you very much. BTW your brother ripped one so loud in target the other day it madeasy me turn red but he thought it was funny, so did everyone else. 🙂
Hi Chad, The experience sounds amazing and so happy that you and your students get to have this opportunity.. Stay hydrated, safe and slather on the deet. By the way, I got Roscoe to walk around the block TWICE! Can’t believe the Warriors didn’t win Monday but will of course catch the next game. Missing you.
Love,
Rose
