Hello all!
I write from Managua (the capital city) where I have spent the last couple days in a really, really nice resort going through more orientation and introductions to country staff. The weather has been extremely nice (last night there was quite a lightning show, but no rain... today we had a pretty hard downpour but it didnt last too long). On another note, before I came here I always heard that they had "rolling brown outs" all over the state to try and combat their massive energy crises, well, Ive been here two days and had two brownouts, its not really that bad... just something that will take getting used to Im sure. I do wonder how it will be when Im in the country side though.
Saturday will be the first day that I spend with my host family. Which Im pretty excited about, but at the same time also pretty nervous. I think that my group is great, lots of fun people (Im sure that has and will continue to help with the transition from US life to Nicaragua).
Unfortunately, I dont really have a whole lot of interesting stuff to say as Ive been pretty much locked in a room all day in "peace corps class". But I wanted to post an update so everyone knew that I got down here alright and that things have been going well thus far.
Hope all is well up north! and hopefully I will be able to write again soon when I get up to Esteli, Im sure I will be much more intersting then.

I can't tell you how excited I am for you! What an amazing adventure...but I heard the Squeasles and Jackalopes can be pretty fierce. Beware.
Robyn and I are anxiously waiting to hear about your Nica Host Family. Hopefully when we come visit we will be able to meet them. My spanish classes start after Labor Day so as I start learning I will try it out in emails to you.
Love Mom
Stephen!! I miss you desperately! I like the updates though, keep them coming!
Stevo! I'm going to a Sox game at the end of September, I'll drink some beer for you for the present, in memory of the past, and most definitely for the future. Glad to hear that all is well after the crazy weather. Buena suerte, estas en mis pensamientos.
