Celebrando profundamente a lo ligero

In the morning we were lucky enough to be introduced to a school that we will probably be working with for a long while. We toured the facility, made plans to show up at 6 a.m. thursday morning to work with the students, and then said our hasta entonce's to the directora and the CPf's. For lunch Elliot and I ate at this 2 dollar greasy spoon run by a couple that has continually insisted for the past month that we show up to their house so that we can learn how to cook the nica way. "ok ok senora, ya vamos a llegar, de hecho yo creo que este finde no tenemos que trabajar asi que dale por hecho que vamos a estar tocando la puerta tuya este sabado." and this evening after we spent an hour or so repairing fans we made it to intercambio. There were about 20ish friends ,osea amigos Nicas, that showed up. The purpose of the intercambio is to exchange language. At the end of our conversation I apologized for the bad ratio of anglophones to hispanohablantes but they didn't blink an eye, and even seemed to think i was a bit absurd for making an apology. But the best part of the day, of the day that marked two years in Nicaragua, was on the way home from having a few tonas with Elliot. I was walking across the central park and I made a new and extremely small yellow friend. He gave me a hug, a seriously happy tale wag, and then he followed me home. When we got home I sat on the front step for a while and told him that he could stay long term if he was there in the morning, and that I would even investigate the fellas name. Off to check on my new friend! ...Feliz segundo aniversario Casa-Nica!
