Today I was up at 4:30 in the
morning, so that I could pack and be ready to leave at 5:30 when the community
truck left for Estelí. I rode in the back of the truck for an hour and a half
with ten other people in order to get to Esteli. It was a pretty good ride
though. It is pretty warm in the mornings and the countryside is beautiful. I
had the truck drop me off at the bus stop in Esteli where I hoped Alvaro would
be to pick me up. I had sent him an email on Thursday trying to figure out how
to get from Esteli to San Isidro with the intention of checking my email on
Friday. However, Luis left Lagartillo Thursday (with the flashdrive with the
internet on it). Luckily Alvaro showed up within a couple of minutes.
Then we went to Evelyn’s for a
little while so that Alvaro and her could figure out exactly how much Hijos del
Maiz owed EOS for the installation of some technologies (Luis was going to meet
with the on Saturday to pay the bill). We were there for a couple of hours and
then left to get something to eat. Alvaro took me (and his daughter Mili) to a
touristy café for an early lunch. We had banana yogurt, cheese, bread,
tomatoes, and cucumbers. I thought it was really good. There was also a park
there, so Mili played for a while too. Then we went to get insect repellent for
me and Vitamin C for Mili since she was getting sick.
After we were done with that, we
came back to San Isidro where Alvaro dropped me off at the office. I did some
laundry and made some phone calls. I went to the restaurant around the block
for supper since I didn’t have any food in the office. I had beef strips with
chili sauce, banana chips, rice, and coleslaw. It was really good. Then, I came
back and called it an early night since I was pretty tired.
