Nicaragua: Day Five

Day Five

So there isn't much to tell for today. Because it's Sunday, we had little responsibility on the farm, and a group of us took a walk. Our group consisted of Faran, Rachel, Amelia, Seth, Zach, Matthew, and me, and we walked approximately four miles to a town (I can't remember the name, unfortunately). In the town, we bought food from a store that we later found out is owned by Walmart (EW), so that sucked, but it's nice to have something to eat besides rice and beans!

It took us an hour to walk to town on the hilly dirt roads in the 90 degree weather, but we took a taxi back for about half of the trip, and that was only twenty cordobas a person (one U.S. dollar). We had a good time despite the heat and the really long walk. Here are some pictures!

I picked this up and made it into a hat!

Matthew and Faran walked ahead of the rest of us for pretty much the entire walk.

I have no idea what this is for, but I love it!

A lot of the buildings around here look like this one.

This is what a lot of the roads look like in this area.

Dirt, dirt, dirt.

Pretty flower.

Seth!

We put Rachel's camera in this tree so we could get a photo of all of us on the road!
