Sorry followers for not updating in a long time. Went to Esteli this weekend for the second time. It's a bigger city about 45min via car/1.5-2hours via bus south of me. It's a really cool city and I'm really happy it's so close. It's very gringo friendly, so lots of hostels, backpacker friendly spots, and cafes with American novelties. When I was there this last time I had a tasty smoothie and split poached eggs with bacon(really ham) over lettuce with balsamic. Definitely not a usual meal at Dona Dora's. The other time I split a veggie burger and an eggplant dish. Tasty rarities. Esteli has the best grocery stores too. I haven't been to the best- La Segovia- but the other ones put Somoto's to shame[side note: Pali, the big, cheap grocery store chain here, the one in Somoto, is owned by WALMART! how horrible is that???]. Next time I go to Esteli, I want to go to La Casita. It's a farm/restaurant that has good cheeses, yogurts, whole wheat bread, etc. All made there.
As for a work update, yesterday I gave two charlas. One in the health center about parasites and one in the school about the environment. Both are repeats from training. I guess at some point I'll have to start writing some more, but I've been able to reuse my charlas from before, so that's been nice. Other plans for this week: talk to some NGOs about getting funds for gardens I want to put in at the rural primary schools, attending a talk on Food Security in Somoto, teaching yoga to my youth group in Chaguite, a rural community, and a charla on hygiene to community members in Chaguite.
