Day 2 in Nicaragua

Good sleep in Hotel Cafe last night followed by breakfast today downstairs in the hotel.  You have a few options including the "Typico" which is beans mixed with rice, fried plantains, round French bread they toast and call toast, plus scrambled eggs.  Or they have an "American" which is ham, eggs, and toast.(guess what us Gringos got)

Riding through some traffic in town to get back to La Finca farm and school.

One of our travelers, Jennifer, has known the Rojas's (our neighbors who lead these trips) from going to church with them a few years ago.  She recently lost her job and is using the forced free time to come down.  Very bold to put the job search on hold to come here.

Melissa, another U.S. Traveler is loving it here.  She loves the simplicity, the people, the hospitality, and the fact that in a simpler area things boil down to food and shelter.

My kids are getting used to the flies that are everywhere.  I am proud of how they are responding to all of this.  They are working on learning Spanish, playing with the kids a lot, and have helped with some projects.

Here, Noelle, Jennifer, and Melissa are cleaning and sorting beans that will be cooked for the kids later.

Soccer!!
