Saturday outings



The last 2 weekends we've taken some day trips, taking advantage of the few Saturdays a year when Alan doesn't have class. Last week we went to a private nature reserve with our friends Martin and Lily. Simon loved riding on our backs in the sling. He also enjoyed walking around in the dirt. We saw an owl, some monkeys, and a really great view from Managua to Masaya. This past weekend we went to Granada for the day, visiting with a young guy who will likely spend next year volunteering in the US. We met his family and ate a yummy lunch of chicken and rice. We then dropped by a few other friends' houses, as we don't get to Granada very often.
This next Saturday starts the academic year for Alan, which means that he's got class pretty much every weekend from now until the end of November. We're glad for a chance to have some Saturday getaways!
