Tuesday June 15, 2010 Evening
Today was BUSY! We had a delicious breakfast of scrambeled eggs with ham and jalapenos, homemade yummy tortillas, watermelon and delivious sweet juicy white pineapple.
Then we listened to Jamileth speak briefly about Casa Bernabe and then she took us on a tour. We saw the housing for the teen boys (left) and girls (right)
And also the younger boys and girls (shown here is the boys, the girls looked basically the same)
We also saw the plantain fields and the chickens they keep.
There is also a school on the grounds as well (not pictured due to frustrations with getting the pictures arranged on here... sorry). We a huge line of fire ants carrying small bits of leaves down a tree, across our path and to who knows where (picture courtesy of someone else)... Jamileth is so sweet and just such a calming presence and you can tell that the kids really respect her. Its so neat. It was neat to see how their preschool classrooms were set up similarily to Room X (minus the areas and with desks).Next we went on a tour of Managua. We went to a place where you can see a lot of the city. So beautiful. We were given a brief oral history of the country which was so interesting (given by Tony the Translator sitting near Gem Lake)
This is about half the entry... I will add in the other half and my reflections another day :)
