100 days to go....

My kids at El Recreo!

Me, taking over the world!

My teachers and me celebrating teachers day.



Yep, that's right! Only 100 more days until the end of our Peace Corps service! After a quick but busy trip back to the states we arrive back in Nicaragua on the tail of a tornado (which ripped plenty of roofs off of houses only a block from our house and caused one death) and ready to plow into our last three months. We will spend the bulk of our time...
-wrapping up our projects at our schools
-transplanting our trees
- planning our AIDS fair
-brushing up on our Spanish to take our exit exam
-writing a lot of reports
-applying to jobs (Alex) and grad schools (Kaitlyn)
-organizing our sports teams (soccer and volleyball)
- attending the wedding of a fellow volunteer to a Nicaraguan
- spending time with friends, Nicaraguan and volunteer
-saying goodbye
-taking pictures
-Getting ready for our backpacking adventure to South America!

Looking back, it is hard to believe that we have made it this far. The finish line is in sight, but we still have plenty to do and plenty to keep us busy until we depart. So wish us luck in these last three months and we look forward to seeing everyone at home again on Dec. 18th after our trip!
