This whole blog thing is not being as cooperative as I'd hoped this time around. Each of my posts is only half of what I wrote, so here's the second part of my post last time:
Yesterday we climbed Volcan Concepción, a 1,600 m volcano right outside town. Hiking a pretty narrow, pretty steep trail was good for my workout for the day, but Emile was a goat and said he was struggling with a pace that slow... I wish I had that problem. We didn't summit, though, due to the little visibility through fog and rain at the top. On a clear day, apparently you can see across Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific and Caribbean oceans. We had no such luck, but it was beautiful nonetheless! Another couple climbed with us, along with a Frenchman and our guide. We weren't the most talkative crew unless Emile was next to the guide, in which case the conversation got away from me pretty quickly. Emile has gotten ahead of my Spanish skills, no me gusta! I plan to rectify that ASAP ;)
I've spoken with an NGO in San Juan that works with children in English and visual arts. They need volunteer teachers, and it sounds pretty great if I don't have to pay to intern, and if Emile is up for returning to the clinic where he worked this spring. Working on some other leads in Grenada, Ometepe and León, so we shall see what happens.
