The Lindsey and Alli Blog

First a little promotion for the goshen SST website. There are pictures posted from our city. You can see our family and the people we work with. You should check it out. http://www.goshen.edu/sst/nica08/


Because Lindsey and I are spending every waking moment together...sleeping in the same bed as well. We thought we should collaborate on a blog entry. We got a little lazy when trying to think of what to write, so instead we decided just to take little bits from our journal entries over the last 5 weeks here in Jinotega. Most of it is just funny things that have happened, other things might not make sense to you, but just use your imagination. Have fun! : )

"Most pointless afternoon ever..." -Lindsey Beck

"Walked around town for a while, tried to go to church. We were late...so our family bought us piza and ice cream instead." Alli Hawkins

"There was a pigeon up in our room tonight, luckily pops (dad) saved us" -LB

"Today=monotonous" -Alli Hawkins

"Momma told us not to go to school today because there was too much rain." -LB

"I HATE the rain" -AH

"...Not sure why but maybe its because of all the beans and cuajada(cheese) we have been eating." LB

"The sun is out...GRACIAS A DIOS!" -LB

"walked into the praising of mother mary. We werent sure if it was for church or the recent passing of a relative...but we got Tutti Frutti out of it." AH

"Sang the national anthem...twice!" LB

"We sat around a while, read, wrote some journals. We heard the chicken get killed and then ate it for lunch. Ha." AH

"...Even playe accordian for the pulperia visitors. Dont know why but Alli and I are funny tonight" LB

"...left early, went to get ice cream." AH

"Gallo Pinto was PHENOMENOL tonight!" -LB

"he was high on life today" AH

"Made friends with Sergio. I think he loves us" LB

"everyone stood in the shade, except the gringos." LB

"2-speed Jose Ramon. Sprinting or Dragging."

"Got in trouble today because last night I had Tutti Frutti and supposedly that is REALLY bad for THE GRIPE!" LB

"Jose was the priest sidekick today. Finally, his dream is coming true." LB

"We painted. Mine was awful." AH

"Computer crashed..real cool..." LB

So maybe that gives you a little sampling of what life is like here in Jinotega for us. Always exciting, always raining, sometimes boring, but we always have a good time. Especially with our family...who makes fun of us all the time. Ohhh SST. : )

until next time,
peace out and much love.
