Spanish word PreƱada also means pregnant in Spanish but is mostly use when referring to animals. Like cow, pigs, horses, goats, etc. Thank you for sharing your Nicaraguan experience on your blog. It made me want to be there while reading about it. Safe travels.
Think of you often What an amazing opportunity for you! I read your blogs in awe. It would be so good if more young people had similar opportunities to reach out and help. I'm so proud to know you and look forward to when you are at school in Massachusetts. We'll get together after you've settled in. Much love, Marg
At least you weren't TAKEN... Wow! We're all glad to hear that you're safe, and I'm hoping you'll get that knife nice and sharp and practice some ninja skills. Have fun with the turtles! :)
Adventures Ho Delana, I am so glad that your encounter with the robbers left you safe. How exciting that you are in Equador - can't wait to hear about the Galapagos. I am looking for any travel tips for our Polaris group this spring. You are braver than me when it comes to food - I am not sure I need to try out all the local cuisine :-)
Robbers! Yikes D! Thats crazy girl! Luckily there were people around to help you! You should definitley buy some pepper spray. And a knife! OR You could buy a guinea pig and teach it to attack. That would scare me away, a ferocious attack-guinea pig. YIKES! Anyways, I wanted to say BE SAFE girl! And I love you!
Great adventure already! I'm glad you're ok after the robbery. Terrible to lose your camera (I figure a water bottle isn't too difficult to replace), but I guess if you're going to learn about that kind of thing, doing it right at the start will serve you well the rest of the trip. What I'm really excited about is your adventurous palate! Great job trying all the local foods. You're being a goodwill ambassador for the US when you travel like that - helps convince people we're not all egocentric Americans. Have a wonderful time snorkeling and visiting the islands. And please, remember what I said - if you're going to make a mistake, stay safe, but make it a good story. So far, you're right on track. :)

To develop these interests in a new way she is spending the summer in Jinotepe, Nicaragua as an intern through the Foundation for Sustainable Development. Through the program interns are taught about sustainable development practices ... full info
