Some days you’re just cranky. There’s no good reason. It’s not “that time of the month”, nothing tragic is happened; you are just in a bad mood. One of the most logical responses is to exercise. Exercising gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy and happy people…are just not cranky (had to get a Legally Blonde quote in there somewhere).
Well today for exercise, we were supposed to climb the volcano! While that didn’t end up actually happening (we would have apparently had to be at the base by 5:30 and it would have taken 8 hours…) we did get to go on a fun little nature walk. We got a beautiful view of the Volcano (pictured below) and were able to learn some fun facts about Nicaragua’s national flora.

After coming home for lunch, we left for Leon. This colonial town used to be the capital of Nicaragua. There we were able to do a little shopping, get some iced coffee and one of the interns got a tattoo! The Cathedral and town setup was very reminiscent of Antigua, a town I miss dearly. We’ve had great opportunities to bond with everyone here and I hope that the month continues to be so relational!
Our group in town today!
