God damn wheres my jacket

Yes it has been a while. If only I could see my last shower date shown on facebook like my blog date than I would be able to remember both every day. But I cannot organically remember either.

So whats up, I am now living in a pueblo called San Juan de Oriente where I am attempting to do my independent project. Yah right. I am learning to throw pots and smoke them too.

So never have I been cold in Nicaragua, except for last night. The first time I have gotten the goose pimples from being cold. Who would have known, if somebody had told me I wouldn´t have believed them. In fact I didn´t bring a single long sleeved piece of clothing with me. I know what a fool. Where it is really chilly is in this very close pueblo about ten minutes away called Catarina. At the end of Catarina looking towards Granada there is a crater lake, created I guess by the implosion of a volcano some years ago. The other day before I parted my group we went to the volcano Mombacho where the same thing has occurred minus the lake part and you can walk around on a beautifully constructed trail along the entire rim of the now extinct volcano. Anyway at the crater lake its mad windy=cold.

So I am hear in SJdeO where the climate is fantastic. Not nearly as hot as managua and tranquilo as hell, real niiice...

I went to this festival last night in Catarina it was some saint something or other and they might be crownin a queen tonight. But what it appeared to be was hella peeps gettin their boogie on. Mostly youngins. It is amazing the amount of youth in the towns around this area. However that did not hold out for long. I met this girl who I started dancing with to something by Cypres Hill. We danced for a few songs then took a break to charlar. So she wasn´t very young 24 infact but she has a KID and is divorced. I can not imagine being in the dating scene around this age with those kind of stats. I guess the sooner the better? no I don´t think that applies here.

So all in all we will see what san Juan de Oriente and the surrounding towns have in store for me. Nothing less than a great project and wonderful stories for the upcoming months. At least I hope there is a great project. the stories will just come flowing in.
