You have waited long enough…

Soooo sorry for the long wait about my site but I have, of course, just been busy celebrating, thinking, hanging out my PC friends (only three weeks left of living close together), and traveling around Nicaragua. After days and weeks of waiting, 1:30pm Friday, came up quickly and unexpectedly and without much discussion the blank map of Nicaragua was placed up in front of the room, ready to be tagged by the 39 PCVs (19 in business, 20 in English) marking our new homes. Minutes passed by as the site by site was announced and only five were left in my group when I was called up. The sites remaining were Leon, Granada, Somotillo, San Ramon, and Villa Sandino. So I went up, waited patiently for the announcement, and then heard the place that will become my new home, my new work, and my new challenge………

Granada, Granada

Initially I was a little surprised because I had been thinking that Leon would be my site but still happy and excited to be living in a big city and a cool place (things to do not weather because really it is HOT and humid without air conditioning). After thinking about the site placement, it all made sense. Granada fits what I wanted and I know I will be successful there. It is all the most touristy city in Nicaragua, many positives and negatives about this, so not that you needed any more incentive to come visit me, but now you have it.

Much more on Granada soon…..
