Bring on the rain

So we are now in the month with the most rain out of the year! It has been raining everyday since the beginning of October and it´s been quite cool, for Nicaragua! Around the 70s, again with tons and tons of rain!

I just got back from tech week in the town of El Sauce about 2 hours south of here! It was an awesome four days! We learned about how to build a biodigestor, modified stove/oven, animal consentrates, and an elevated garden! I´ll try to post some pictures soon, but I forgot my camera back in my training town! I know I haven´t posted pics for a while so the next time I´m at the internet cafe I will!

Our team received two new volunteers last week. They were evacuated from Bolivia because of instability, so they will be joining our group for the next two years. They had been volunteers there for eight months, so they already have a lot of experience and have the language down!

I did finally get sick last week, but don´t worry it was just a cold! Nothing at all compared to what the others have gotten. The cold is called La Gripe here and everyone in the whole town knows when you have gotten it. However, because of the weather changes and all the rain, the cold lasted for like five days! Everyone in the whole town knows when you´ve gotten it and constantly ask you if you are better, but I´m great now and back to my good old self!
