Good morning to all! Joshua and I have suprisingly enjoyed our current hostel, la Libertad! Interesting parts of our stay here are as follows. The showers are a pipe coming out of the wall, with a rather cold, small stream of water coming down. We were told by a local that sometimes they won't have running water for a couple hours or a day. This morning the water stopped on me twice, I was both times planning how to get dressed and live my day with shampoo and conditioner still in my hair when the water would come back on. Quite humorous I do belive, as I would not have necessarily imagined myself in a Nicaruguan hostel, in what i think used to be a barn, taking a shower, with the water going off and on trying to hurry up before it actually stays off. Another thing that is different is for me is drinking black coffee, and they dont serve milk..so this for me is definitely new. (I could walk to the store to get milk if I really wanted to). Also all of the rooms have shared screens to the commmon area, and to each other. We sometimes feel like we are living in a dorm. I never did live in a dorm, but I got an idea of what is was like, when I visited my brother, Justin in college. We share the bathrooms and la cocina (the kitchen) with all the other people staying here. People in the hostel are nice, and considerate, and everyone has a story to tell. There are people (mostly young) here from all over the world.
The mornings here are especially beautiful, and we love the hammocks with the warm breeze here in the courtyard. The people working here only speak Spanish, so we have had some fun practicing and learning new words in order to find out information, and just talk with them. I plan to take some Spanish lessons from a local soon. Until next time!
