Nicaragua

Well, Hello Again! This time I am writing to inform everyone about my trip to Nicaragua!

Here's the deal:
Who? The entire LASP group (yes all 47 of us will be traveling together!)
What? An awesome difficult, fun, cool, important learning experience in Nicaragua
Where? Managua, Masaya, and Granada, Nicaragua
When? Monday, March 2 through Friday, March 13, 2009
Why? To gain a new perspective of the Nicaraguan culture (there are lots more reasons!)

Here is an overview of my trip (at least what I think it going to happen)
The first three days we will be staying in Managua, which is the capital of Nicaragua. There we will be what I call, "academic tourists". We will be interviewing people, hearing from guest speakers, and visiting many important places. The next six days we will be living with Host Families. LASP is all spread out in the rural areas of Nicaragua. I think I will be living in a small town. I don't know much about this part! After the home stay we will be staying in Granada for two days. After that we will be heading home!

So, I don't really know much about this trip but I do know that it will be a challenge that I am excited and ready for. I am little bit nervous with the uncertainty but I think that I need to be shaken up a little bit and I think this trip will do just that!

I know that I will not be able to use a computer at all therefore I will not be able to update until I get home! I hope you all have a great couple of weeks and don't worry, I will update when I get home!
