What we have been up to in November-December besides mopping up dog pee…

Thanksgiving Dinner in our home, no matter how much we say we are going to boycott this holiday, we can’t totally abandon the tasty tradition.
Summer school- The three of us León volunteers (Adam, Lara and Jordan) put on a two week English summer camp for twelve incoming high school seniors. We had a lot of visitors during the two-week camp, which greatly added to the success and motivation of the students. The camp was a lot of fun; we introduced them to American football, water balloon fights and line dancing amongst other things. The whole camp was conducted in English, which was a huge accomplishment for the participants. Adam playing Change 5 Things

The month of Gigantonas (don’t know it I spelled that right) is upon us. This is a loud tradition involving teenage boys with drums, a costume representing a Nicaraguan man and an enormous Spaniard woman. It begins EVERY night at 5:00, and lucky us, three Gigantonas live across the street from us!


Just a nice picture of our neighborhood.
