A few Pictures

Hey guys postings have been a bit slow lately because lately I havn´t done anything note worthy. INPRHU the host organization we are working for is on a one week vacation. They are on a vacation becuase accroding to Nica law all workers must have a months worth of holidays. Most employers give their employees their month vacation in one stretch, but since INPRHU is such a pivotal organization they cannot give a month vacation in one shot, they break it up into random weeks.
So this week has consisted of one press conferance with the group. So I got on Nica news for the 2nd time in a week. But I managed to miss my apprearances both times ugh!! I only had one line the 2nd time, ¨Buenas Tardes Me llamo es Khalil Bheriani y yo soy Canadiense¨i am really really worried that I might have said Buenos instead of Buenas, theres a difference, but ill never know if i got it right.

I have been pretty tired lately, I have been going to sleep at 9pm everynight, I havnt done that since grade school, but I have been waking up at 7am everymorning aswell.

Today I went to a boxing gym for the first time, and the trainer there is a volunteer trainer and he does it for free. The trainer doesnt speak a word of english, and my spanish is still pretty bad so our converstaion had alot of hand actions. He doesnt really smile much either. But he still seemed really nice, and he had me sweating buckets by the end. Typing right now is a bit of a struggle cuz my arms feel like jelly.

Since I dont really have much more to say I have decided to post a few pics:


I dont know if you can tell what that is infront of us. But if you guessed inukshuk you would be exactly right. Id like to call this picture, OMG Canadians in Nicaragua. But as ive mentioned in another posts we have girls who are Inuk from Nunavut. The girl on the right is one of the girls from there. We went to go visit the local lake about 20 minutes from Somoto. There was lots of rocks there so the Inuit girl, Makkitu, decided we should make an Inukshuk, what a way to show our Canadian pride by building the very thing that represented our country at the Vancouver 2010 olympics. This was taken about 4 or 5 days ago, I wonder if it is still standing?

Well if you remember my post from 2 days ago about me climbing a waterfall, this would be a picture of that waterfall. Unfortuneatly I cant think of a witty title for this one, so just pretend I have one. I know this picture isnt very clear, but if you look in the top left you can see a bit of the big waterfall which I got to repell down. Too bad I dont have any pictures of me doing this as it was too wet in that area for me to risk giving my camera to someone in that area. This place was absolutely gorgeous and I think the whole group of people will go back again in a few weeks time.

On a side note today was my host fathers birthday, so a very happy birthday to him, he told me that hes turning 15 today. He fancies himself as quite a joker!

Anyways Buenas Noches!
