nicer hotel (hot water- yay!) and spent half the day relaxing pool
side. I finally got to talk to Ben and relax a little.... Which I
needed after partying Nicaragua style the night before. BUT that's
all I have to say about that since the locals promise us that what
happens in Nicaragua- stays in Nicaragua! ;)
Our new hotel is on an island in the middle of a lake at the base
of an active volcano. I can't wait to show you pictures! The ferry
ride was a little scary - we had 2 trucks full of cement blocks
plus two cars and our bus. The parking was a little tight!
Today was large animal day. Not exactly the way we do it in the
states! One bull climbed up over the other cows in the chute,
jumped out and charged us!!! We were almost knee deep in mud and
crap. I had so many adrenaline rushes by the time we were done
that my hands were shaking! We had to give each one a SQ
Ivermectin and an IM B-vitamin complex. I am now pretty well
practiced in the art of "stabbing, jumping out of the way, running
back, aspirating, jumping out of the way, running back, injecting,
and jumping out of the way!" a little scary! Will post pics when I
can!
Off to the orphanage to play with some kids.
Lordy- I need a stinking Starbucks!
Go Cowgirl!!! Starbuck's does not give that kind of ride! Good for you!
