Today was a well deserved day off! This morning we all went zip lining and then hiked around a dormant volcano near Granada.I cannot remember what it is called but it started with an M. I was dissappointed that the volcano has been dormant for a while and their was no lava. But it was like a tropical rain forest in the crater and we hiked around it.
This afternoon we went to an open air market and spent some of our money! And the best part of today was the pizza we had tonight! We were all thankful for a meal that didn.t include rice and beans. Only we forgot that our stomachs have shrunk so we ordered quite a bit extra but our guides Jimmy and Catalina are going to give the extra away to some kids in their hometowns that could use it so we didn.t feel quite so guilty about ordering so much more than we could eat.
Tonight we are staying in the hotel in Managua that we stayed at the first night we got here and tomorrow we are flying south to San Carlos to work with Self Help International.
It was a great night and we are all thankful for warm showers and no outhouses! Oh, and there are less bugs here. I keep forgetting to blog about it but the place we stayed at last week had a lot of geckos running around as well as some other bugs and a few cockroaches. One night I think each room was screaming about something in their room. A gecko crawled down the wall onto the side of my bed so we scared it back up the wall but the walls weren.t connected to the ceiling so we weren.t sure if it went outside or over the wall into the other girls room. A little scary but also funny when I look back on it.
