After my 8:30am class on Fridays, my weekend freedom begins! Last Friday, I went on a hike in Condega. There’s this mountain/hill a couple clicks from the city so we decided to check it out. There wasn’t exactly a trail, per say, but we made it! Poor qualitycell phone foto:

Then I went straight to Esteli for a fellow PCV’s birthday. There were about 13 of us in total and we went for Italian food (shrimp scampi!)! After dinner a couple of us went to the local disco to show off our dance skillz. There was a live band and they played “Final Countdown”, “Living on a Prayer” and “Eye of the Tiger”. Needless to say, the 5 of us were the ONLY ones rocking out on the dance floor while the Nicas stared jealously. The night was then successfully completed with some 3:30am tacos.
Saturday morning we were in need of food to shake off the previous night’s libations. I had a milkshake with nutella in it and waffles with fresh fruit. Feeling much better we created a scavenger hunt to occupy the time. On the list included: a peach, a mango, a foreign beer, a cigar, get something pierced, high five a town drunk, give a stranger a piggyback ride and since we were with health volunteers, give a condom demonstration to a stranger. My team won, abet on a technicality, but a W is a W in my book. To celebrate I ate some jalapeno poppers, nachos, and tacos for a lunch/dinner. After dinner we went to a concert of a famous Nicaraguan folk band. Here’s a song that he sang about where I live!
Now to unpack, repack and I’m CHICAGOING HOME!
