Granada! Granada! Granada!

I'm still in Granada...it's Thursday, June 29. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last day here...and then I'm to move on. But....I don't want to leave! I love my host family and my teacher. And, after talking to several travellers, no one else seems to have had any luck with language schools they've attended elsewhere in Nicaragua. And, I still have sooo much Spanish to learn. I'm going to Rivas and La Isla De Ometepe for the weekend. They have a language school there and it's supposed to be beautiful. So, maybe I'll go check it out and if I like it I'll stay, if not...back to Granada. I'm putting Costa Rica on hold until my Spanish gets better. Lots of English spoken there. I'm afraid I'll forget what I've learned so far.

Some of the pics I posted were taken in the town of Masaya...they have this great market there. Beautiful hand woven hammocks for like $8. The rest of the pics are in Granada. They are always having some sort of celebration going on with school children performing.

Someone tried to steal my backpack yesterday! I was even walking with a guy, but I only had the pack draped over one shoulder, and this guy went whipping by me on his bike and grabbed it. But I was strong...I yelled a profanity at him, although I'm sure he didn't understand it because it was in English...I haven't learned any in Spanish yet!!

That's all I have to report today. Hope everyone is doing well. AND! Thanks for the input and support...I love getting feedback from everyone. That is something I didn't anticipate...having the time to reconnect with so many of you who I haven't talked to in so long. Keep on reading! Adios amigos!...Elise
