¡Hola mis amigos!
¿Como están? I have just returned from a great trip to Nicaragua with a big group that included my friend, Kate! We traveled to Managua, which is the capital city of Nicaragua. We stayed in a village just outside of Managua. However, we did not stay in a hotel We stayed in the homes of some of the members of a church called Rey de Reyes. Our big group split up into three smaller groups. Each morning during the week, our little group took a bus to a neighborhood called San Benito. The community in San Benito was building a church, so we decided to help them out! I started with all the other guys in construction, but my arms were getting soooo tired, so I decided to stay with Kate and the rest of the education group. We met a lot of awesome kids and got to play a lot of fun games with them! We played with frisbees, soccer balls, and….water balloons! The water balloons were the best because it was very, VERY hot. This first picture is of our group getting ready to play jump rope! Behind us, you can see the others finishing the frame of the church!
This picture is of me cooling off and eating some chips on our bus. We ate lunch there every day so that we could enjoy the only source of air conditioning we had!
One one of the last days, we visited an island in the middle of Lake Nicaragua. During our time there, we got to kayak, swim, eat fresh mangoes, and relax! After the island, we drove all the way to the top of a mountain to see….a LAVA LAKE! It turns out, we were actually at the top of a volcano called Volcán Masaya.
I met so many awesome people on my trip to Nicaragua. I’d love to go back in the future! I hope you all have a great start to the school year in Ms. England’s class!!
¡Adios!
