today has been spent wandering around the lovely city of granada and losing myself in the beauty of it all. i met up with two girls (maddi and erika) who attend school in vermont and will be on the farm with me this summer. on our way to find la parque central this morning, we got lost, we strolled the market for awhile before realizing we had no idea where we were. solution.... climb the highest tower we could find, look out over the city and try to pinpoint our location.. it worked!
thank you lake nicaragua! trying to orient oneself to north and south in a bustling city is apparently more difficult than i had thought! one would think ¨"donde esta la central parque?" would be enough to get to some place, however they don´t necessarily respond with "go left three blocks and then right 2". oh, and watch out for giant gapping holes in the sidewalks and streets... it may be the end of me, as i´m constantly caught up in the vibrant streets.
i´m still adjusting to the humidity here... i had to escape to a pool this afternoon to release some heat. these first couple of weeks on the farm are going to be a challenge.
we will be heading out to la laguna de apoyo tomorrow for a day of lounging on the beach and kayaking before attempting to travel to ometepe on saturday. still have yet to figure out how to post pictures and now that the computers are in spanish and crazy keyboards to learn (excuse my typing) it may take me a bit longer! adios amigos
