Am in Managua on my laptop at the super nice Best Western hotel directly across from the airport. We are at the All Volunteer Conference, which means all 200 or whatever volunteers in Peace Corps Nicaragua are together with nearly all of the staff. We've been in conferences all afternoon and will be all day tomorrow, and then several of us have signed up for Thanksgiving dinner with US Embassy host families.
Am loving hot showers and rich food and air conditioning. Overwhelming to be with so many people; we tend to self segregate into our Agriculture group or, for me, also hanging with other volunteers that live in my department of Madriz.
Photo blogs coming next...

Ha!
OK. Thank you for already having the answers to my new questions! Wow -- 200 volunteers in Nicaragua at present????? Guess I had totally forgotten that there were that many of you there all at once! Seems strange since you see ONLY locals and are the only US Citizen there (or, does your counter-part live in your town? You don't mention him much anymore. Molly, just TOTALLY ENJOY your little luxuries! You've certainly earned every degree of AC, every drop of hot water at your fingertips, and every taste of non-traditional food! Happy Thanksgiving break to you! Mom XO
