So the Satuuday after Tech Week, we took a group boast guide trip around the islands of Grenada. Miguel, the Assistant Country Director, came with us as our unofficial guide and officially the best cook of everything (including Nestle recipie cookies and homemade tortilla chips!)
This is Miguel, or Miguelito. He is the best!! He served as a volunteer on the other side of Lake Managua before becoming the Training Manager and now he's the Assistant Director of the whole PC Nicaragua. He's like a walking Lonely Planet only better because he's also funny!
There were 3 boats of trainees from both Small Business and Agriculture.
There is also an Island named Monkey Island. Guess what they have?! And the monkeys do tricks if you throw food. Well trained! And adorable!
I threw a carrot and celery stick. So cute!
Me at the front of the boat. Represent with VT shirt!!
And Meli and I collected A LOT of pelote, an apple-pear fruit, when I got home. She really likes getting her picture taken!
It was raining a lot!! This is to be expected in rainy season. The non-existent sewer and water system just can't handle the flash flood conditions. But I have utter confidence in Don Douglass and his driving ability.
And lastly, despite the rain and fog, we drove to the top of the Diria to check out another Mirador. This is actually the town that Miguel trained in for his service. So that's it in a nutshell.
