less than 2 weeks...scaryyyy..in fact in almost exactly 11 days I will be landing at Logan Int'l Airport...CRAZYYY
To tell you the truth, I randomly have a lot of work to do recently on top of a bunch of last minute things to do like souvenir shopping which I wanted to get done the whole time but no one else seemed to worried about..now we're all freaking out...and trying to hit up all our fave places one last time..and plan a going away party so we can see everyone one last time next week...Monday is the celebration of the Immaculate Conception...the Nicas have celebrations in all the big, populated cities (Managua, Leon, Granada and Masaya) called PurÃsimas. We were originally going to Costa Rica this weekend but due to time and money constraints we decided to stay in Nica. We will probably go to one of the celebrations at least one day during the weekend because all of our different groups of friends have mentioned it at one time or another...we haven't done tooo many really out of the ordinary cultural things here (other than the show we saw at the theater a few weeks ago that I neglected to mention..sooo cool!) so this celebration should be really cool. Sorry I'm not making any sense, I am still exhausted from the weekend and have so much more work to do!
Speaking of the weekend, it was an amazing weekend "on an island in the sun". We survived the plane the 50 minute plane ride, 10 minute break and 20 minute rest of the plane ride in the tiniest plane I've ever seen, gracias a Dios. The first day (aka Thanksgiving), I was laying on a hammock reading a book, and then I went to catch up with the others in the water. On my way out to meet them, I just started smiling, it was that good. Absolutely beautiful and (almost) perfect weather and despite our few speedbumps on the last day which I'd rather not remember, it was a perfect, relaxing weekend to get away from all the crazy-ness that will be the last *11* days in Nicaragua. We did lots of swimming, readings, listening to music, picture taking (check out fb, i might get around to posting here), eating delicious food, and evening watching a few xmas movies while it was raining. One day we rented a golf cart and gave ourselves a little tour of the island, another day we took a small boat to little corn island...to give you an idea of how much a thrill that ride was in a small boat packed with too many people during a small storm as we held a tarp over our heads, Kristen turns to me after 5 minutes and screams over the roar of the ocean "Jennnn, did you say your prayer yet??" HAHAHA...gooood times. I'm sure I have a lot more to tell, but I'll be home soon and you guys won't be able to get me to shut up about it! <3
