We are wrapping up our final week of our visit with the Spanish school. We have met some great people who we will luckily be meeting up with along the way at various places as we travel through Nicaragua. We have been having a week of celebrations to say goodbye. Our new friend, KT, is meeting up with her boyfriend who is flying down next week and he is bringing us some dark chocolate. We are dying for some good dark chocolate. We have found a candy here literally called BonBons from Argentina or somewhere and we buy out the stash everywhere we go that has them. Between KT, Shea and I we have eaten most of the BonBons in Nicaragua. We had a free afternoon after class yesterday so we went and bought the last 8 bonbons at the icecream store, got some sprite and drank our Nicarguan rum- Flor de Cana- with sprite and ate bonbons in our hammocks all afternoon. I think we laughed for about 3 hours straight... watching old Jem episodes on KT´s laptop, discussing the hypocrisy of our host and making up Spanish phrases for Shea to recite to her Nicaraguan crush (please see her blog for a further description of this fine gentleman). We talked more at dinner last night than we have the whole trip here to our own amusement as well as everyone elses.
Tonight we are having Thanksgiving, Nicaraguan style: fried chicken (freshly slaughtered), mashed potatoes, pumpkin soup and chocolate cake. And Chilean red wine that seems to be the only thing available at all supermarkets in Nicaragua which is fine because it is delicious.
