Hey father, it almost sounds as if i am neglecting you guys in the blog, but no worries, i sent something to make up for it. You have to check momís email. We have been having such a great time and since this was our last night in esteli, we went out to a very […]

Hey all, so thursday after classes i return home to find that the driver that the Cuadros sent is there, and has been since 8 that morning. Apparently this is not even a problem, but i felt pretty bad. The three hour drive was not bad, but hil was feeling pretty sick and had been […]

After a long conversation late last night with both Hil and Matt from Berthaís house, with Bertha laughing and her dog yelping in the background, that included a long string of how great this is and how much fun that was, I asked, ìSo Matt, tell me exactly what incentive do you have to come […]

“Where are those kids? It’s 5:30, shouldn’t they be back in Esteli at their stations?” If there are any blog readers who have heard from the wandering wonders, please leave a comment. Chris is away at baseball camp and will return for one week of work before he leaves again, this time for trips to […]

Instead he sent her Bertha’s […]

Dear Matt, Dad and I would strongly prefer that you pay Egdelina et al for the last week, as she and they were expecting you and these folks count on these fees for their lively hood. But you do need to cancel Jose Luiz Lopez. Sounds like you’re doing a good job on planning, but […]

As Matt drifts back to his normal, parents, I have parents ? attitude, we’re even more grateful for Hil who writes in the kind of detail that almost satisfies our hunger. Whereas Matt now throws us shoe leather, Chillin’ today, planning our three city tour for next week ending in Managua…glad you aren’t here, bye, […]

I have just gotten back from leon and I don’t really feel like writing about it right now because i am exceedingly tired. We traveled for about four and a half hours, during most of which we were not sure that we were going home. The stress was a bit tiring. Leon was great though, […]
