Nicaragua

So it is Wednesday and it has been a few days since I got back from a wonderfully crazy Semana Santa. I ended up going to the country of Nicaragua. We started off in on the beaches of San Juan del Sur. We hit up the beaches and did some surfing and had a really great time. Next we got on some buses to the island of Ometepe another place that is in the middle of a large freshwater lake and the island consists of two large volcanoes. It is really crazy. So we hiked to the top of the volcano where a lake exists inside the crater. It was quite a fantastic day trip. From there we headed to Leon. This is one of the cultural centers of Nicaragua. We saw some amazing old churches and just some wonderful buildings. However, what we really went to do was Volcano Boarding. We hiked up this volcano with makeshift sleds, put on some brightly covered overalls and threw ourselves down the volcano. It was a great ride. I must say it was a good trip. We got back on the last bus on Sunday and prepared to work on Monday.

Currently 7th and 8th grade are preparing for SAG. They are playing all sorts of sports as well as cross stitching and making bracelets. They are keeping quite busy. Next week Wednesday all of the competitions begin and I am quite excited to be able to go along and be a part of it. We are into our last and final parcial of the school year so the year is really starting to wind down. Keep our school and students in your prayers as always.
