A freezing cold volcano ?






So, saturday we went to the volcano and it was...FREEEEZING! no joke, probably seriously 50 degrees F. yeah...for real! =) haha and it was raining or misting the entire time, so for the 2 hours we were there we got to see the crater for about 2 or 3 minutes. =) But, minus the $20 we spent total on the bus ride, park entrance and food, it was completely worth it to spend time with people in the group and just bond over such a possibly wonderful experience gone completely wrong. =) Plus, the drive there was completely gorgeous, which was worth it pretty much. =) pretty much. haha (see pictures)
Soo other than that, life continues to be good as usual in good old Tico land! i am still loving the food and the people and life in general! yesterday we bought our juanes tickets, so we are FOR SURE going next thursday (oct 2) to see him. ahh, me encanta. =)
umm yeah..food is good, im not sick (yet, apparently that is an inevitability in our nicaragua trip..woot) =) i just cant believe how fast the time is just flying by here, it is incredible! i am so glad that the group just feels bonded together in such a short time, (4 weeks!) and its just going to get better here. =)
i had my first experience at church with my host sisters this past sunday, which was also amazing! its not a pentecostal church, i think i would just say evangelical..yeah...it was really good, the people there are amazingly nice people, and so im hopefully going to go again this sunday since i´ll be around! its just great to have such an amazing time of worship, even though i dont catch like, 1/4 of the message i can feel the love people have for god and i just felt so close to god and everyone around me that day. =) it was great!
con dios.
****Pictures: me in the ¨danger zone¨at the volcano...a little furry friend who just came right up to us, i think someone actually did pet it...the view on the way there!...me, mackenzie, emily and alyssa all chilling in the cafeteria at the volcano...and me in front of the crater for the 2 minutes we could see it! =)
