hardest walk of our lives

Hola! This was our first full weekend in nicaragua. We are lucky enough to get to spend the weekends together. We trade off familys so that we don´t have to put economic hardship or show favoritism to either family. Yesterday, we went on a walk to the laguana near my town. Me, Jeff, another volunteer, my dad, and brother. It was our first encounter to nica time. We were supposed to leave at 9 which actually ended up being more like 10:30. no worries. So we start walking and its through this forest, jungle mountain. Soon, i realized that this was going to be a lot harder than I had thought. It took us about 45 minutes to get down this mountain and we walked over this really slippery fruit on the ground...keep in mind this is down a mountain of slick mud and rocks...with plants around you that you have no idea. Is it poison ivy? Maybe its something i don´t even know about yet. So we get down there, we are soaking wet with sweat. It was dripping all the way off my nose and head. I really needed a sweat towel. I sort of felt like Shaun. We go in the water and it was amazing. It was like HOT the first 3 inches or so and underneath was cold. Which was amazing. We were there for about 1.5 hours. On our way up we decided to take the long route which was on a road. We walked for about 30 minutes straight up. It was so hard. Then we ran into a friend of the other volunteer who gave us a ride within 30 minutes of our town. Then we walked for another 30 minutes straight up. It was seriously the most difficult walk of my life. We then hitched another ride with someone my dad new, thank god or we might have died. My nica brother and dad were fine but us gringos were hurting! But it was super beautiful and totally worth it.

We are doing well. This is the staring of week number 2, I can harding wait. Our spanish is better, but still terrible. Hasta luego!

Jenny and Jeff
