First Days

I cant write much at the moment but I am writing for all of you to know that I am safe and well and happy. Orientation is almost over and tomorrow we are going to meet our host families and get the ball rolling. Yesterday we went to Leon to wander around and talk to people on the street. It is a beautiful colonial pueblo, very pedestrian, north east of Managua. I would like to go back to spend more time there. For now though I am getting excited to settle into my family and have a home base as in a week and a half we are going to the campo for a week..Matagalpa, a northern town that I have been to and loved. I must go get my contact dislodged from my eye because it is awfully windy and dry and hot here but much love. There will be a much longer entry soon.
