Nicaragua News!!

Since my other blogs from Nicaragua have been rather wordy, and well, this month has just been so random, I’m opting for a photo blog! Enjoy!

 

This is where we live. Yes. That is an actively smoking volcano.

 

 

This is our friend who lives in our bathroom. 

 

We painted a church for three days. This is where Aly and I painted where weren’t supposed to. And they’ve left it like that. 

 

 

We dug a ditch with ‘Amigos for Christ”, bringing water to the community of El Chunko. Hands down, the hardest I’ve worked all year. Also. We got pretty dirty.

 

This is our ride for the month. Our driver Mario likes rap. He is a BA.

 

We passed out rice and beans to several villages.

 

I attempted to surf on 6-8 ft waves. Only to receive a serious beat down.

 

  

We got to hang out at a school for the disabled. This kid really liked to sing….

d This guy really liked to dance.

 

We did two pinatas for the village we worked with a lot. This is what happens when it breaks. 

 

We hiked up  and then sled down the Cerro Negro Volcano…

This did not bode well for Stephanie’s butt. 

 

We really wanted some s’mores…

 

We painted some more. After spending some time in the room with the oil paint fumes, he got pretty fascinated at the colors in the unmixed paint bucket.

 

 

Oh yes. Eskimo’s ice cream. Regularly. 

 

Home in less than two months! Off to El Salvador this weekend, and then two Guatemala after that!
