Sabana Grande del Cementerio 4 Cuadras abajo Pablo Tellez/ Chelsea Dill Managua, Nicaragua, Central America So I celebrated my first birthday not with my family on Thursday and actually had an amazing time!! Hermana Connie and her son David gave me a pinata as my present because Connie makes them. So we had pizza and the most gorgeous cake Ive ever seen in my life and the pinata and we played musical chairs and did the limbo. haha [View Full Entry]

Dont have time for a huge update but I could use some help from people. I know not everyone has money and all but if any could send me some of these things it would be a god send. Black and green pipe cleaners. Food coloring. Corn starch. Large popsicle sticks. I could really really really use them for my classes. Esp the food coloring. I am good. Having the time of my life actually. Just so you all know. This country and its people have pretty much stolen my heart. Again. Te amo! [View Full Entry]

So I just thought I would fill everyone in one some cultural differences I have noticed that are rather interesting. Men here seem to be much more polite to women but it has its ups and its downs. For example, on the bus its wonderful because a lot of guys give up their seats to them women on the bus and stand so that the women dont have to. When I go out with the guys from the church, they always let me sit first. Also even though I am fully capable of climbing in and out of the back [View Full Entry]

So I dont have anything very interesting to update other than a few little things: I went on a motor cycle. again. and now I want one. They are amazing. I forgot to mention that the church I attend daily is purple. Like BRIGHT PURPLE. and I love it. Also, I have been eating tomatoes and onions a lot lately. Theyre made constantly and I couldnt be picky. so yeah. I guess I sort of like them. Everyone should download this program called Skype and make a username bc then I can talk to you on the computer for free. My [View Full Entry]

Hola amigos! Wow, so Im really sorry that I havent written in forever. I have been pretty busy and to be dead honest, when I havent been busy I just havent felt like taking the time to update. Ive been enjoying myself too much!! So whats happened in the past week. Hm. A group from Houston came for like three days last Sat Sun and Mon. I went with them to the dump on Sun but ended up hanging out more with Hermano Pedro and Guillen the entire time then the people who spoke my own language. Weird but I guess [View Full Entry]

So I dont know really how much time I have to update. Anyway my classes are going pretty well. Although and good advice or help would be great. Teaching the younger kids English is not easy so any good games or things like that would be awesome. Also if anyone doesnt mind paying the money to send me some Teaching ESL books that would be a god send. My older classes catch on really well though so Im excited about them. Even though David was already my little attachment and uhm maybe kinda my favorite, he has amazed me even more. [View Full Entry]

First off..The animals here. Dogs and cats roam free and are very skinny. Also, any horses Ive seen look realllyyyy starved which kills me but people need to feed themselves so yeah.
