So, yeah, it's been a little while since I last posted! And of course, tons has happened! George Clooney? A thing of the past! Christmas and New Year's passed, quietly and uneventfully. And it actually made me sad and really miss the States, for really the first time. Here, Christmas is celebrated so differently/almost not at all. Last year, I happened to be in Panama to celebrate it with other US friends. So this year, when I literally did nothing on Christmas, it was a new experience and really made me appreciate the traditions of my family and friends back home. But at the end of January, I took a trip to Nicaragua with some Peace Corps friends and had an awesome awesome time! I love Nicaragua! It's a country that has managed to attract tourists without changing everything to cater to the upscale taste of many Americans and Europeans. Everything was cheap and good and I had some great experiences with the people! I'm so glad I went there and saw the country for myself! And then we had COS! It's our Close of Service conference! Unbelievable. This trek is almost done! I'm at a 3 month countdown now! It was really great to see everybody at the conference, and sadly, it probably was the last time I will ever see most of them again. Everyone's going back to different states and countries and the likelihood that we'll all be together again someday is so small! That's why I'm glad we have facebook, so I can stalk them! So, now I'm freaking out about my next chapter! I am definitely moving to NYC!!! But, I am totally stressed about getting a job! Yes, I could waitress or babysit to get by, but I really want to find something I like! Now it's time to dust off the old resume and update it with all my Peace Corps stuff, which is actually quite hard to do. How do I quantify all of this on one piece of paper in a few short blips? Good thing Kelly is coming to visit me and has promised to help me with it! Anyways! That's the latest! I promise to write again before my time here is done and Hurricane Leah hits NYC!
I might use this for my book cover, "Must Hate Mariachi." It's good, right?
Hey! It's like a little Rio de Janeiro!
San Juan del Sur. So beautiful. My camera can't do it justice!
Nicaraguans love those rice and beans, too!!! :)
A house for sale in Los Chiles. I'll give you $10.
