Today, I...
saw about 30 wind turbines surrounding Lake Nicaragua -- those things are a lot bigger in person than in newspaper articles. Investing in alternative energy sources: one huge way Nicaragua has changed since I was here six years ago.
missed going on trips with my family.
realized I am going to miss foreign money.
learned how tranquila -- tranquil -- San Juan del Sur is. The lazy beach town is incredibly chill. And hot. And glorious.
smiled when I made a new friend! Alanna and I decided to split a taxi to San Juan del Sur from our bus stop in Rivas with a woman named Robin who is currently living in Costa Rica. She has been back and forth between CR and the states (she was born in Chicago and went to Northwestern! I was wearing my DePaul shirt and we instantly conected) for the last ten years, WWOOFing at a chocolate farm amongst other things; now she´s co-managing a Bed and Breakfast in San José while trying to start an all natural soap business. The three of us found a hostel and she´s staying in the room next to ours.
It´s going to be a great five days.
