| Vanessa and Vanessa (tocayas) |
I haven't had much chance to write this past week, since Lesley and Adam and Sarah arrived. We've been having a great time. Elliot and I changed teachers - I am now studying with my "tocaya" Vanessa, and Elliot is studying with Arlen (who doesn't let him get away with speaking English). Every afternoon we've had a different adventure. The first two: kayaking Granada's isletas, and (re)visiting Volcan Masaya.

| A way better way to see the isletas! |
Unlike our first week, the past week's weather has been perfect - warm with a light breeze and no rain except at night. Evidently we are enjoying Nicaragua's "Indian summer" - a brief respite from the rain before winter's rainy season fully kicks in. We are also adjusted, I think: to the climate, the language, the culture, the pace of life. This is starting to feel less like an ordeal, and a lot more like vacation.

| Early Spanish explorers placed a cross next to the volcano 'to keep the Devil from leaving the gates of hell'... |
