Nicaragua Travels

So we are off to Nicaragua tomorrow. The rain has finally subsided, and 7 of us are going to travel to Nicaragua in the morning. We are planning to stop at a few different cities, with the first stop in Rivas and then continuing on to Isla Ometepe, Granada, and Leon. It is slightly entertaining that we have just come out of the storm in Costa Rica and now there is apparently lots of rain in Nicaragua. But it should be a really fun trip, and lots of good people are going! we are going to leave around 7 am and will hopefully make it all the way to Rivas, but if not we will just stop somewhere along the way for the night.

Last night we all went out for the last night in Samara, as many of the people we are traveling with wont be returning after Nicaragua. It is sad to see them all go, but hopefully there will be some new students in classes when I return.

Samara is a great little town, but it is very small. I have gotten to the point where you know most of the travelers, and many of the locals (ticos) as well. It is a beautiful place when it is not raining, but everyone knows each other so the soap opera dynamic has kind of been created. But besides that it is a great place, you just have to try not to get too intertwined in all the activities of the town.
