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 birthday is coming in a few weeks and I get a pinata!!! haha LOVE YOU!

Hola amigos y amigas, I am excited that I get to write this now. In the part of Managua that I am residing there is no power available between 5 and 10 pm. that makes it difficult to stay up to date with these entries as class finishes at 5 and immediately the power goes out. One of our classes is held at CIES, a public healthcare school that has generators but closes their computer room at 3 pm, que triste. Anyway I had to trek over here in my first out of doors tropical rianstorm. I guess luckily I was the only one sensible enough, out of my friends, to have a rain jacket. In my first post I wrote about the beach near San Juan del Sur and I think I should expand on ... read more

Hola amigos, muchachos, and loved ones. This is my first entry in this blog from nicaragua. Welcome all to my world here through my words, and hopefully some photos. Please pardon my gramatic and spelling errors when you encounter them. I have been in Managua Nicaragua for a little over a week and a half. Where I have seen and tried to hear extreme amounts of cultural happenings that are still not quite making sense to me. A little about my siuation I am living in a middle working-class barrio called Maximo Jerez. There is no running water after 8 am and beginning this week the electricity will be turned off from 5-10pm, because last week it was from 2-7pm. There is of course an energy crisis that is causing this preplanned disturbance, but there is ... read more

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. He is SO smart and picks up English very very quickly. I love it. All the kids are awesome though. I hear Profe! Profe! (profesora is teacher in spanish) or Chelsea! Chelsea! and another one ... read more

Hola! Es ist 20h21 in Managua, Nicaragua. Etwas zu heiss, kein Regen. Nachdem wir am Strand in Tamarindo, Costa Rica erste Meeresluft geschnuppert haben, sind wir doch schnell weitergezogen. Zu viele Amis und alles zu teuer. Und auch nicht undbedingt schoen. Also heute morgen um 05h00 aufgestanden und mit dem Bus nach Liberia, Costa Rica. Von dort mit dem luxurioesen Bus (Klima + DVD, sehr entspannend) nach Managua, Nicaragua. Beim Grenzuebergang keine Probleme - mittels eines Buzzers aktiviert man einen Zufallsgenerator. Eine Ampel zeigt gruen - ok - oder rot - Koffer durchsuchen. Bei uns beiden gruen. Hier angekommen leider nicht mehr den Flieger nach Corn Islands erwischt. Deshalb im Assi-Viertel absteigen. Haben ca. 10 Raeume angeschaut. Von einheimischen Jugendlichen verarschen lassen. Und letztlich doch noch was feines gefunden. Allerdings nicht ohne comission an die Jung ... read more
