Welcome to my blog.
This is the first time that I have entered the blogosphere so please be patient with me while I navigate this new environment.
I am also in the midst of navigating the new environment of Nicaragua. There is a lot of new happening.
I'm not going to lie - it's already been quite of an adjustment. I have just come from a crazy week of pampering and wedding events (congrats Deb & Ty!) and am now trying to adjust to a completely new environment.
It's a bit overwhelming right now but I'm looking forward to settling in and seeing more of the country.
I arrived in Managua last night, went to my new office to meet up with the new interns and my unofficial point person, Keith, who works at MEDA.
I was then introduced to my host family, and the place I will be calling home. My host family includes a single mom, who is my age, and her two daughters (10 years old and 6 months)
It's a pretty sweet set up, with my own bedroom, bathroom, spare room and porch. I spent the night showing the young girl, Ginger, and her cousin, photos from Toronto and answered their questions ("What is Toronto like?"; "What's it like to fly in a plane?") as best as I could - until I could no longer wrap my brain around the spanish language and had to call it a night.
Today will be taking care of some housekeeping and adjusting to everything.
I'm looking forward to more discoveries and being able to share my observations and stories with you.
I hope everyone enjoys it!

Glad to see that you've arrived safe and sound. I'm sure Ginger and her cousins will be a great help in improving your Spanish vocabulary.
Looking forward to reading about more adventures on your blog.
I'm still not mobile, hobbling around and complaining....
Quien es su padre?
Glad you've arrived safely, Audrey and I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures and adjustments.
