I realize that it has been FOREVER since I´ve sent any sort of update on how my life is flying by down here in Nicaragua. Pretty bad, huh! Well, after my amazing trek home for Christmas time has just seemed to slip right through my fingers.
Well, I´ve spent the last 2 months in a stupor of occupation. The projects I am currently working on consist of a world map project for the elementary (the funds and materials have been donated by the local mayors office -- took 2 months of pestering them to get it), a modified oven project, and the biggest project -- trying to begin a small business with a group of women interested in taking local fruits and processing them into marmalade and jelly.
So the last couple months have been full of meeting after meeting and training after training. With all these crazy activities happening, my mind has been very sidetracked from the countdown to the end of service (which is now only a little over 8 months). It´s very hard to believe...I feel like there is so much more I need to accomplish in these few months and I definitely won´t have enough time to do everything the community needs and would like to work on (I guess that´s why another volunteer will come in after me!).
But enough of my rambling, I am doing wonderful these days (other than the frying 110 degree afternoons). I unfortunately don´t have any more crazy critter stories. Ever since I´ve gotten a cat that problem has disappeared, of course at the expense of good "critters attacking Lindsay" stories!

We Need a Few Good Writers!
*Travel with purpose after COS and author a travel guide for your country of service.*
Other Places Publishing, a start-up publishing house created by RPCVs, is actively recruiting PCVs in their final year of service to remain in-country after COS to research and write travel guides for their country of service. Our guides provide unique local insight, highlight those spots off the beaten path, and show the real country to travelers. If you’re up to the challenge, we’d love to hear from you. We’re particularly interested in hearing from R/PCVs in Central and South America. Check out www.otherplacespublishing.com for more info, or email Chris at editor@otherplacespublishing.com. Please pass this information along to other PCVs in your country. Thanks!
