Day 13

Tomorrow I'm going to Grenada, a city that was the original capital of Nicaragua, with my professor.  There is an exhibit in a museum about a program that gave dslr's (the kind of camera i use) and photography lessons to street kids from here in Nicaragua. (http://lensofvisionexpression.org)  Every who knows me, and i'm guessing that's all of you reading this, knows that i'm going to love seeing this.

Today i finally talked to the monk.  It turns out he's actually a friar, not a monk.  I asked if i could come check out his compound sometime and he gave me directions.  It's made up of Americans who have moved her.  I'll know more about their way of life after i go talk to them later on in the next two weeks. 

The University is having a taking a trip to Managua tomorrow for a "Mall trip."  I was going to do that but I got a call from Maggie(http://maggienicaragua.blogspot.com) today saying that she found four puppies that needed rescuing and wanted to know if i would like to accompany her in this wild goose chase that, the connection was bad so i'm not too sure, will bring us to Leon(a city on the other side of Managua[i think]).  I'm not here to go shopping, I love dogs, and i've never seen Leon so i'm hoping I get back from Grenada in time tomorrow to go save some puppies.
