Greeting from San Ramon!
Its a little town near Matagalpa in the northern area of Nica. There are gorgeous mountains full of trees and fincas, aka farms. The vistas are beautiful. Last night after the two hour bus ride from Managua, and two different cabs, we practically hiked up the super steep driveway to the hotel. Needless to say we were all extremely out of breath. We had dinner, a quick charla, and prepped for today. This morning we woke up in this gorgeous, fresco pueblo had breakfast and headed out to visit a brigadista. The landcruiser ride there was a blast. We had to go up and down through hills and across at least three small rivas full of rocks. After our visit with the brigadista she showed us around her fincas. There are coffee plants, mango trees, lots of chickens, two natural wells, and so much more. I could definitely live in a place like that for the next two years. After our visit we headed back into town. The heading back consisted of an hour plus walk through rugged paths and the crossing of those three small rivers on foot. It was so beautiful and refreshing. It felt good to actually explore some nica nature. I took loads of pictures of the vistas and pasajes and hope to upload a few using a friends memory card reader within the next month sometime. After a well deserved lunch my group headed to the casa materna in san ramon to give a charla and just hang out with the ladies. There was actually only one embarazada staying there because the other 6 had gone into labor yesterday. They said it was because of the full moon. Anyway our charla went very well, but tomorrow we are headed to a different town nearby for the day to work in a casa materna with more embarazadas.
Next monday and tuesday is the mid term language evaluations and sometime next week is the site fair. Hopefully within the next two weeks Ill know where my site for the next two years is going to be. Im so excited and nervous at the same time.
Anyway I need to go but I hope to update again soon!
Miss you all!
Cheers and Paz as always
