Hola friends and family!
We made it safely to our hostel in Esteli! Each student had a minute to call home and let you know we made it safely so hopefully you received that call. If they did not reach you, do not worry! Our whole group is here, happy and healthy!
After our night of traveling we united with our in-country Global Glimpse staff and they gave us a wonderful introduction to Nicaraguan culture and customs. We had our first taste of Nicaraguan food for dinner this evening and we are going to sleep very well tonight! We have a packed day tomorrow – we will be touring the city of Esteli and learning about the history and politics of Nicaragua! We are all excited to jump in!
We will post tomorrow to let you know how our first big day goes!
Saludos y abrazos!

Hi Lily,
Sounds like Nicaragua put on a special welcome to make Bay Area kids feel right at home! Very glad to hear that all is well with Nicaragua and the GG team. Have a fun time!
