It's that time of year again!! I am off on another crazy vacation ... going to Central America again this year -- mainly because it's super cheap, easy to get to, and there's no jet lag invovled!
This is my frist trip where I am actually not going completely alone! I am meeting up with a group of 5 other people through Living Water International in Managua, Nicaragua. We will travel to Leon via bus (a couple hours from Managua) and stay there in guest houses with a local family. Each day we will travel to a remote village outside of Leon that does not have access to clean drinking water. We will be DIGGING THEM A WELL so they have fresh water, as well as teaching them about the importance of clean water and personal hygiene! I can't wait for an opportunity to get to travel AND do some good in this world!
The goal is to hit water by Thursday, and have a well dedication ceremony that day. I will then be traveling (alone) on to Panama City, Panama for a few days. Nothing much planned for that part of the trip - per the usual. I want to see the Panama Canal, obviously, and possibly visit an Emberra Indian village in the jungle! :)
The bad news is, I've been informed there will be NO internet access where we are staying in Leon. I mean come on, if these people don't even have running water, why in the world would I expect them to have electrcity or an internet connection!? I am hoping, however, that we will be close enough to Leon that maybe I could venture in to the city in the evenings and find a computer! I'm not holding my breath on it though...
So anyways, that's all. I'm off!! 10 days (9 really if you count the travel time), two countries, and one backpack! :)
Wish me luck!!
be safe friend!!! and as always, take pictures of everything!!! :) so excited to hear all about it when you get the chance!!
