So I arrived safely in Managua Nicaragua Friday night, after 16 hours of travel we (I was with two other volunteers and the country coordinator for my program) jumped into a taxi and drove one hour to Jinotepe which is where I will be staying for the next two months (more info on Jinotepe to come soon). The house I’m living in is gorgeous, there are two floors. Upstairs there are three dormitory style rooms with bunk beds. This is a picture of my bed, the rooms are huge ! There are actually two other bunks in the room and a huge closet on one wall.

You can kind of see one of the other bunks and the closet in this picture.

Upstairs there is a also a large hallway that has chairs and a hamock to lounge in.

Downstairs there is a kitchen, more room to sit, a classroom (for spanish classes), an office, and a central garden/courtyard area, which is gorgeous so I have to post pictures of it.

So that´s where I´m staying for the next little bit.

Yours in Christ, Lauren
