Nica Update

Wow, it has been a long time since I updated my blog!!!! I apologize for taking so long to fill you all in on all the happenings here in Nicaragua. I have lots more to add, but will do this a little at a time. This slideshow has some random pictures taken here in Nicaragua. Some are from time spent with friends before Christmas, but they will give you an idea of what the decorations looked like here. You will also see pictures from my first time hand washing my clothes. Let me tell you, it's not easy! I'm still getting used to washing my clothes. Down the street from where I live, there is a family with a washing machine. Every time I walk by their house and hear the washing machine running, I get sad! Makes me long to have a washing machine again! It's a good experience for me though, and the more I do it, the more used to it I become. It's very different from what I was used to though. I have also included some pictures of some more time spent with Jes and cousin Luis. Jes loves to go to a place called Catarina. I think we have been three times since I've been here in Nicaragua. It's beautiful, and in the evening, very cool. We need to plan better when we go....we never have enough clothes on to keep us warm. It's a nice place though, very peaceful. We enjoy going and sitting and talking with one another while watching the sun go down. Hopefully you enjoy looking at the pictures...many more to come! Blessings to all.
