This morning we had a little Nicaragua reflection time and then we had down time until 1:00 when we took a boat tour of Lake Nicaragua, the biggest lake in Nicaragua. Our reflection time was phenomenal, and we discussed many themes that people saw throughout their experiences. It was really helpful to hear about what other people saw and learned, and talking as a group helped me put some words to my thoughts.
After our reflection Haleigh wasn't feeling well, so we spent our down time at the hotel resting and organizing our stuff to go back to San Jose tomorrow. I went to the market to buy some food for lunch, which was kind of fun, and I think I could get carried away and stay in a Latin American market for months. The sounds, smells and wild assortment of goods available just suck me in and I never want to leave!
Our lake tour was beautiful, fun, and relaxing. Before it started, I was dying for an ice cream sandwich, and I searched all over downtown for one. Not a single one of the vendors had one, so I settled for a different form of ice cream. It was fun eating a cool, yummy snack in the sun. I can't believe how quickly we all flipped the switch from roughing it to tourism, and processing things is still pretty overwhelming.
After the lake tour we went to a local market and a group of us went out for pizza for dinner. It was a pretty chill day and I hope I'm ready to jump back in with my San Jose host family tomorrow!
