We can't believe we've been in Nicaragua for a week. We've learned so much and experienced so many new things! We spent the last three days (two nights) with homestays in a beautiful but poor community called Ramon Garcia. Hopefully we'll have more time soon to post some stories. The people we've spent time with seem to hold so much wisdom. At one of our reflections recently we discussed how our American society and culture puts such a high value on "progress" (technology, efficiency, accumulation of wealth) but what we've experienced in the lives of the Nicaraguans is something even more profound- something that makes our American progress seem so very backwards.
Anyway, we are all doing well. There have been some minor encounters with diarhea and such but nothing we can't handle! Dios les bendiga.
