HOY Hear Out Yellow

We have arrived safely in Nicaragua! After a long day of traveling, we are settling into our 'house' and enjoying our first official night together. In fact, as I write, Muyambi is serenading me with his guitar playing.

Although our day was long and quite tiresome, we are very ecstatic to begin our adventure! The day was full of unexpected surprises (issues with Muyambi's visa at JFK, the crew decided to show up late to our connecting flight in Miami, hanging out on the runway in Miami to let the storm pass, etc.), but we were able to keep a positive attitude and take something out of everything. I can tell already that this is going to be a great group and we are learning so much about each other. Bianka (Muyambi's Nicaraguan friend) is a tremendous help and we are so grateful she is joining us.

Time to get ready for a good night's sleep. For those worried parents, keep in mind there's a 2 hour time difference, so it's only 11pm and not 1am! We're especially content after a delicious dinner at a nice restaurant nearby, the perfect first dinner that consisted of other food besides rice and beans!
