Schools out for winter!

So the spanish class is done for now and my skills remain very weak. Looking back I think I should have stopped after 3 weeks, but I have learned a lot about the history and the area. My comprehension is way better, so it will come with time.
Starting off with a week in Granada, plan on visiting Ometepe then head into the north part of the country. Just heard about a canyon they just discovered in the last decade near Honduras that sounds awesome, along with other parks and reserves. Have a car rented for a month for less than $300, should aid in the exploration capabilities. Plans are set for a month in the beach town Jacó in Costa Rica for December.
The implant started well, but is on hold for now. Went in after a week to get the impression for the new tooth and when he screwed the new post into the implant, the implant came loose. So he did a bone graft and I will let that grow till after New Years and come back to wrap it up. A bit of a setback but should work out well in the end, not going to rush it at this point.









Been enjoying activities with Wi/Nic Partners on weekends. Last week they had about 60 kids at a "Bike/Hike" event where they had games and activities all afternoon on Friday. The local scout troop helped out too. Saturday was a monthly meeting of most of the leaders of the various learning centers in Nicaragua, to share ideas and progress. Am headed to one northwest of León on Saturday, looking forward to that.
Have had some other students in the house the last month, a couple from Ireland/England, Nick from Australia that has been working in Belize, and just this week a couple from New Mexico. Been checking out many different restaurants in town with Nick the last week enjoying some good conversation and fare. Being here the longest, I have been named "The Don", I prefer "Don Ray de León".
