The days are going by far too quickly now!

It's been days since I've added anything to this BLOG but it's not because the days have been dull, just the opposite, full of adventures and we're making fond memories.

It's Sunday morning, Lise's husband should have arrived late last night;  Willa and I will be going to Kathy's Waffle House for breakfast .. guess what we'll be eating?  And I hope we can sit at the back ofher restaurant with the parrots; it was so much fun the last time.  Last week I had forgotten my camera, this time I'll do better.

One afternoon we stopped at a local restaurant for some nibbles and a cold drink; the cutest little boy was there and it appeared that the lady who probably owned the restaurant was his Grandmother.  This little boy loved music and could play the bottom of his pot like a bongo drum.  Not only did he have the correct wrist movements, he also had talent!!

We've made chocolate from scratch and I'll add some photos to Willa's post about this.  I still have half of my chocolate bar so hopefully there's still some left when I return to Hartford this Thursday.  Mine had rum and crushed cashews, yummy too.  What I did find disturbing though was that what I made was 50/50 cacao/sugar.

And in our class we had some interesting women, one from Hershey, PA and her friend who has lived in Nicaragua for about the last 7 or so years.  She's also from the US but married to a Nicaraguan man; they're both lawyers and met while doing a Masters in England?  I took this opportunity to ask her if she knew where the Rotary International held their meetings in Granada.  She was so surprised by this as she did her Masters on a Rotary Scholarship.

Last night we ate at Tele Pizza a local restaurant close to the hotel.  We'd heard others say that it was good and although it was I enjoyed the thinner crust at Monna Lisa.  Neither of us could eat our entire meal, I had a pizza and Willa a pasta.  The smallest size pizza is a medium with about 8 good sized slices.  We asked for our leftovers to be packaged up and we searched for the lady who we've often seen sitting in a nook off the main square.  She has 3 children with her, a little one about 3 who is always sleeping, a little boy about 8 and a girl about 10, the mother is rather thin, etc.  She was more than pleased with our meager offerings and I hope to buy her some ready-to-eat food and return to look for her this evening.  The little boy and girl were both pinned with Canada pins, they were pleased and the mother muttered something that I didn't understand other than the word BONITA.
This must be a most difficult life for her and the children.

The other day I saw a man proudly wearing a top with the word  JACKASS across the front, surely he didn't know what the word meant?  I could only wonder?

We've met with Bosco and have some  tours planned for today, Mon, Tues & Wednesday and then he'll pick us up on Thursday morning at 5:30!!  How I hope to get on an earlier flight from Miami to \Hartford, I dread the 8 hour layover but with a good book, etc. anything is possible.

I've been dragging my a*s here as I tried to add two videos to a post that Willa had made ; they didn't load properly and neither do I know how to remove them ... I'll go and repair my damages NOW!
