Hey all! Just got back from site and only have a few seconds to get the pics up. Will fill in details later, but are the basics. My host family is awesome. My host mom is in charge of a cooperative that has already funded ovens and silos. They've got more than 24 acres of corn and rice right now, they've also got beans and cows. It's a 6K walk to Praderas the nearest town and more than a 5 hr round trip to Jinotega city, but it's beautiful!
And there are two puppies!!
It was so good to Skype with you tonight. You look happy and healthy! Love these photos. It's even more beautiful than you describe. Glad you included some of you! Good luck with finishing strong. Many hugs. Love you much, Mom
ReplyDeleteHey Meg Great pictures. You are right about your new site being beautiful. Anne wants to know if you get to bring one of the puppies home with you. Love the analogy to Lion King. Stay well. I love you. Love, Aunt Wendy
ReplyDeleteMeg,so glad to hear from you after your first site visit. The vistas are certainly beautiful. You look well and happy. It sounds like your host family will be great. If Wendy gets one dog, I'll take the other Ha! Ha! The trip is certainly challenging. Fortunately your Millinocket Grandma is not with us to experience this adventure, however, I am sure both Grandma's are guiding your way. Stay Safe, Happy and Healthy!! Love Uncle Frank and the Claremont Fahey's
ReplyDeleteHi Meg..
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your blog on your adventures in Nica. Fortunately for me, your Mom stops by my office here at the Hannaford Career Center and interprets some of your writings. I especially enjoy the photos. Take care and stay safe.
