In less than 10 days I leave for round 1 of our Nicaraguan adventures. I go to study the language and to "scout" out places to live. On paper, our 1st choice is Estelì, thus the reason I have registered for language school there. Once in Estelì, with the help of the language school staff, and my host family, I will explore the area and see if it really is the place the tour books write about. Also while I am there, I will explore our 2nd and 3rd choice, Leon and Matagalpa respectively to see if they are STILL our 2nd and 3rd choices.
I hope to visit some primary schools so I can report back to the girls about what they are like, take pictures, generally learn about the education offered.
My main agenda during this initial trip is to learn the language.... well.... to start learning it. Pretty much from the minute I touch ground, no mas ingles. AY!!!!
On the home front... we are still looking for a renter. As much as I cross something off the "to do list" several more things get added. I have never before had to plan so many things so far in advance... it is overwhelming. One of the items on the list was to adopt out the chickens. "check!" They now have a new home. The empty coop makes me sad, but they have joined a family that has other chickens and I am told are adjusting well to their new surroundings.
Well... Me voy! ( I am off) big thanks to all of you whose support has made this all possible.
Nos vemos a el fin de Junio ( We'll see you at the end of June)
