First Post From Nicaragua

¡Hola!
Guesss What? Im in Nicaragua, and this is officially my first post right here. We arrived in Managua, Nicaragua yesterday after a long flight from pearson airport. We left there at 11am and we had to stop over in San Salvador, El Salvador for a period of 5 hours. In that 5 hours we found out just how cheap the servecas ( beers) are. We finally arrived in Managua at 730pm...im using a spanish computer and I cant find the colon button :(

Any ways you might be wondering...well at least I hope you are where I have been the last 5 days, because didnt I leave 5 days ago? Well Id like to apologize, I didnt actually leave for Nicaragua on that day. Although I did start my journey. We spent 4 days at an orientaion camp at some camp ground in Halton. I have met incredible people, and in those 4 days I feel like i have known these people for years. These fantastic poeople I have met all share the same values about life and what we want to accomplish on this trip. And even though we share the same values, we all come from differnt walks of life, some of us are from toronto, ottawa, Vancouver, we even have 3 participants from Nunuvut and a Participant from NWT, and that shows how multi cultural we really are.

Now a little more about Nicaragua, well the second we stepped off the plane it was pouring buckets, well thats what you get from coming to nicaragua during hurricane season. Currently I am staying in a hotel called Maraca Inn, and on each and every wall you will definatly see a lizard. This morning the sun is out and birds are singing (a little too ,much I might add) and we will be leaving for Somoto in 2 hours to finally meet our host families and see the comunity we will call our home for the next 3 months.

Hope everyone is keeping well, sorry about any spelling errors I am writing really quick, Ill keep you posted

Buenos Dias, Buenos Tardes, y buenos noches (if you dont know what that means think truman show)
