Nicaragua NRT trip



We had 105 students take the course and succeed. It went really good.

We went to see this Volcano on our free day. You can't see it really well, but it was really neat and there were three volcanos conected and one extinct volcano that was covered in green vegetation.

This is where we stayed in the first city we taught in, Matagalpa. We only got to see how beautiful it was in the morning because we always got there when it was dark and raining in the evening. It was really kind of scary in the dark.....no clock, no TV, no telephone. We got to wake up each morning around 4 to the Howler monkeys, well......howling. What an experience!!

Kate painting with the big kids

Tough thing about letting the big kids paint is that Kate thinks she is one of them. She has to paint just like them with her own paper, own plate with paint, and no help. Notice the amount of paint on the paper vs. the amount of paint on the table and chair. Oh, Well!!! Thank goodness for washable and non-toxic paint (yeah....she eats it!)!!
