Visitors Galore!

We had the privilege to host 3 different couples in March and April! While 2 of the couples were new to San Nicolas, the third couple knew their way around quite well :)
Davie and Sarah visited us in March and were able to recconect with people in San Nicolas and see some of the sights around this beautiful country. We loved hosting them and sharing our joys and struggles about living and working in San Nicolas. They just GET IT! We also had a chance to skype with Billy and Kristin while they were here and that was a great time for all of us to connect. We enjoyed catching up and look forward to the next time our paths cross!

In March, we also hosted Jill and Peter who were our friends (and short-term roommates) in Indianapolis. We loved having them here and showing them our lives here. We loved that they were able to visit our schools and help us in English class. Turns out ‘Jill’ is very difficult to pronounce in Spanish ;) We also enjoyed a bit of vacation time with them and visited a beautiful beach near San Juan del Sur.

In April, Greta and Darin made their way south from Portland, Oregon. We enjoyed spending time with them. We visited our schools, hung out in our patio area, and enjoyed some time on Ometepe Island.

Incredible views at the Mirador

Ometepe was incredible, as always!

It has truly been a blessing to have SO many visitors over our 2 years here. We really feel lucky that so many have chosen to see our lives here and now get it in a different way. I will have another visitor blog coming up, but as we start to wrap up our time here in San Nicolas, I will also start writing about the good-byes and experiences we will be having over our final 2 months of service. I cannot believe we are gearing up for those good-byes.

Love.
