This week has been full of traveling. Wednesday I went with Kellan to Leon to quote prices for refrigerators, ovens/stoves, mattresses, and other things for the eco-tourism on Ocotal. The public transportation to get there was interesting, so many people jamming into a bus and people walking the isles from time to time selling snacks and drinks for the travelers.
Thursday we went to La Casita, a restaurant in Esteli that has a beautiful and huge garden like the one we hope to plant on the mountain. We got a lot of good ideas from the visit, and bought plants at a nearby store. The different plants were fun to pick out and I can't wait to start planting, hopefully tomorrow when Kellan and I go back to Ocotal.
Friday we went to Leon where we spent the night and went to the beach in the morning. Then we went to Masaya for Irene, a Peace Corps Volunteer, and her fiance Carlos' small wedding ceremony. It was interesting to see how ceremonies are performed here and learn more about the traditions.
Classes are going well. In my class in San Jose where I help with the 2nd level class I feel like a big help, especially when it comes to math-related topics, because the teacher isn't a trained teacher and doesn't always understand the problems. English class is also going well, I am learning a lot about different people in the class and the things they do, which has given me a better feel for El Sauce. I am learning a lot through the projects, and having a fun time doing it!
