My home stay:
(Above: blue bucket on left is shower water. Green bucket on right is drinking water. The thing with the red bucket on it is where I did my laundry)
(Above: where dishes are washed)
(Above: living room)
Keep in mind that this is a middle class home. Water is limited and they seem happy!

We learned the history of the Sandinistas, coffee, how to make cigars and more. We took a nice boat ride around the small islands in Granada. All in all, It was a nice touristy day. The next morning we took a horse back ride around the farms for about 2 hours. The view was INCREDIBLE!! Pineapple farms in the distance, volcano in the distance, and nothing but green. A picture won't do it justice (unfortunately it's on my camera, so I can't share). I experienced my first laundry day, and it took me about an hour and a half because I washed everything myself one at a time. I am so proud of myself. Every resource here is used to make something out of it. For example tree branches for the fences. Nothing goes to waste. Being in this culture reminds me again of the things I closed my eyes to back home. I could indulge you with my thoughts, but I have too many to formulate the words right now. Differente día.
Adiós for now! Xoxo
