Interesting day yesterday; I had language class in the morning until 12:30, then lunch, fried fish, rice, fried plantain and melon, very good. The coffee is excellent here. After lunch I explored the city a little with Gerri another student from the USA, she has lived in Nicaragua for 10 months. We visited the public library, only one for a surrounding population of 200,000 people. Surprisingly no high rises, most buildings are o9nly one or two levels. Then we went to that cathedral, very beautiful and had coffee at a garden café.
The streets are very busy and you can see daily life all around you. Vendors walk up and down the streets selling torteas, fresh fruit tamales etc. \even little girls and boys travel door to door selling what their mother has made that day. Labourers push these three wheel carts with their wares to sell, or if you need building supplies delivered they do that also by their cart. In the surrounding areas people still travel by horseback, no buggies though. I even see horses parked at the ESSO station LOL.
Last night I had lots of homework and Lillian (the made 23 anos) helped me with my pronunciation as I helped her with her English. Everyone seems to be very helpful and the area though poor is safe. It’s just wonderful to be able to sit outside and look at the mountains. The weather is semi-cloudy and about 24 deg C, it’s a little cooler hear than on the coast.
