Well, we leave for the caribbean coast tomorrow morning at 4.30 in the morning. We will drive for a few hours until the road ends, and then take a boat the rest of the way to Bluefields. We stay in Bluefields tomorrow, and then leave for our prospective communities on Wednesday. We stay in the communities in guest houses and do outings in groups and the like. It looks like we're going to be academic tourists as opposed to our usual quazi-native roles. It'll be interesting. We return to Managua (via plane, thank god) on Sunday, and recommence classes on Monday. That will be my last week of Spanish classes and my second to last week of classes classes.
Some gringos (gringas in this case) are being boistrously loud outside, and yet they wonder why people get certain cultural stereotypes... oi.
I'm tired, I have finally finished my second essay, and I am ready for my few hours of sleep before taking the bus for (did I hear her correctly?) about 8 hours. I'll post again when I return.

Happy Birthday Phish!
Here's to hoping the new year is better than this year is ending for you. Here's to new adventures, experiences and people who enrich and don't drain. Breathe in the life around you. Live today. Everyday.
Love,
