Muros y Pareds
Yesterday was a work day here at the center. Sarah and I were both excited because we were working on the upstairs dorms where our new rooms will be. They are working hard to finish two rooms so Sarah and I can have our own space before the next delegation gets into town. When the upstairs is completed, it will have a bathroom, small kitchen area, and stargazing patio. I am so very excited. The Nica staff around here are starting to remember our names and it is fun learning spanish terms with them. Thank god they are so patient with our spanish. I can't wait until I can understand all their bromas (jokes) which I am sure pokes a little fun at the chelas (white people). The Bucknell college kids leave today, so I don't really know what is in store for Sarah and I. Hopefully laundry and cleaning the place up. Hopefully the guys will work on el piso arriba (floor above) so we can move in up there soon! Other than that, things in Nica are nice. A steady 80 degree temperature with little humidity (it is the dry season). I don't think I have seen a mosquito yet! Knock on wood.
Hasta luego

Alyse,
We have been reading your blog, as well as Sarah's, and it sounds like things are going really well. You might get more people to comment if you give instructions on how to do so. I for one, in attempting to comment, created my own blog space (abaje de mexico)before your mom came in and showed me. I like the concept of you having to work for the roof above your head- you will appreciate it more, especially having to build your room. Looking forward to your next blog. Have a good day.
Can you tell us about what you have been eating on a daily basis? For instance, do they eat Corn Flakes in Nicaragua?
A-bomb,
Stay strong. Give Danny-O a pound for me. Carl Linnaeus loves you.

Alyse,
Just a word from Cherie's husband Steve--we sploke on the phone before you went to Nicalandia. I hope you get to take the boat over to Ometepe while you are there so close. I didn't because of bad weather and now will have to go back to see it and the big lake.
Sigue adelante!!
that's exactly how i was thinking of doing everything isn't that weird we think alike.I'm at Shayla's reading your blog and I'm very proud of you. Too bad I'm not there to help you with your spanish.Take care and be careful somebody in Missouri loves you.
Love,
Marla
I'll introduce myself. I first came in contact with your family when your mom and I shared a hospital room when she had Anika and I had Guy. We're old friends of Buck & Barb and the Wimmers. I live in CO now, so next time you are out this way visiting the Rothrocks, we'll have to meet. Love reading about your adventure.
