Time is tricky. How is it that this dictator of most everything can be so deceiving? I have been gone for over five weeks and it seems like years, yet I also feel like I just got here. During the course of my stay in Central America some things have been made very clear to me:
-The people of Nicaragua truly are some of the kindest and gentlest in the world.
-Not all 60-something men could hop into the back of a moving bus and laugh about it.
-You really can see pregnant bellies change in a short amount of time.
-I can eat cheese here.
-I miss long days, but love early sleeps.
-Teaching and translating is simply fun.
-Making a fool of oneself for the benefit of others is always okay.
-Your dad can become a best friend.
-Your best friends can become sisters.
-Horns apparently have many purposes.
-Effective communication is vital in all situations.
-Strong hugs are the best.
-“Sugar ants” also like skin.
-Questions and conversations can be better than material gifts.
-While waiting 10 hours for a flight, it is nice to have a hotel across the street.
-Most situations have an advantageous and disadvantageous side.
-Everyone’s story deserves to be embraced.
