la tierra de cafe y verde

"la tierra de cafe y verde"

the land of brown and green

So here in Nica lots of things are brown.. the streets, my white shirts (at the end of the day), my shoes, the dogs, the rocks, the trash all over the street, the dirt, the rivers, the houses, and the people (no racism intended). and sometimes the dull dreariness of the whole place can be rather... depressing, but at the same time, it feels new fresh and green. The people here, however they live, where concrete or dirt floored homes have so much hope in thier eyes. and so much happiness about them even in their humble circumstances. It makes up for the sometimes dull surroundings the city at least, the land is incredibly green and filled with trees and all that jazz. but yeah, I love it and I love life and this hopeful happy people.

and like las nicaraguenses dicen "Bien Gracias a Dios"


hasta luego,
