Open the eyes of tomorrow's leaders.

Our Last Day

Posted in Matagalpa1 - 6/30/2015 by Lily Catrone

Well, this is it! We return home tomorrow! This morning we woke up, had a nice breakfast, and then got right to packing. After, we had a three hour group reflection which was emotional for many of us as we processed our experiences and relationships made along the trip. Lunch was concluded with a cake for Alex’s birthday (Happy Birthday Alex! We all thank you for being such a inspirational and knowledgable leader). Then we were off to Salva Negra “Black Forest”, a breath taking coffee farm, hotel, and resturant. Most of us walked around the scenic pond and sipped one last coffee before taking the long bus ride back to Managua. Now we are back in the same hostel we stayed at 18 days ago, when we were for the most part still strangers to each other. The bond all of us has formed is astonishing and will extend far beyond this trip. We opened up to eachother on night one and since then we have only grown closer. Saying good bye tomorrow will be difficult but we are already planning adventures with each other once we get back home. Family and friends, we are excited to be home soon and share stories of our life changing experience with you!

    Hi Lil,
    I was beginning to wonder if you were really there in Nicaragua! 🙂 Thanks for the beautifully written narrative recapping your experiences and new friendships. Reading all the blogs over the past nineteen days was almost as good as actually being there. I think all the Glimpser’s were fortunate to have had this experience, and equally fortunate were all those they touched and helped while in Nicaragua. Safe trip home. Love, Dad

    Over time you all will go your own ways and may loose touch with each other but you will always be connected by this amazing experience. Cherish your memories and be grateful for the positive impact this has been on you. It may be challenging to jump back in your “every day” life after months of excitement building up to the trip but never forget that the world is a better place as you apply all that you have learned on the adventure. Safe travels today and in the future as you continue to explore this amazing world.
