well, new month, new country. last week we arrived in managua, nicaragua, our third, and final home city.
we had last week off for vacation so i got a chance to travel around and explore nicaragua a bit before programming starts. i saw some amazing things and really fell in love with a few places; but after getting to see the last two countries the way i did - narrated with peoples' personal stories and drenched in the context of their history and politics - i felt somehow like my feet weren't on the ground. i'm ancy to start learning the story of this place.
in the meantime, i'll include a few visuals of my week off. the first is a pic of the first island i visited, home of two volcanoes and the monkeys seen in the pic (first time i've ever seen monkeys in the wild and there was a baby!) and the picture of the cathedral is from granada.

ok, new request... you know how i was dying to have you bring me home llamas from peru (which you did)? i want a baby monkey from nicaragua. ok? super duper.
also, my word verification for this little comment is "mononess", which i like to interpret as "monkeyness", which is yet one more sign that you should bring the monkey to me. :D
