Spring Break

In five days I will be in Nicaragua, soaking up the sun and breathing in the fresh air. This will be my third spring break to spend in Tepeyac, a small village just outside Granada, and I couldn't be more excited to be going back. I am traveling with a group from TCU, as a part of a program called Questa Terra.

I wish I had a fast forward button so that I could skip past the upcoming week of midterms and assignments, but until then I will simply daydream of warmer weather and the carefree days ahead in the land of lakes and volcanoes :)

Here are 10 of my favorite things about Nicaragua:
the palm trees
Late night conversations on the front porch at the convent

rice & beans + fresh fruit, coffee, and honey every day
these precious kids & their enthusiasm for learning
the volcanoes
my Tepeyac friends including Douglas & Milton.
San Juan del Sur
the friendly people & their proud traditions
picturesque Granada
this yellow cathedral
