Hello again from Nicaragua. We have been waiting for details to become more certain before sharing this as we have been in contact only by email until finally getting to meet with a NGO here in Nicaragua. The NGO is doing work with sustainable agriculture and we have been spending some time learning more about their projects. When we have time, we will go into detail, but they are doing really good work in the wonderful area that cris-crosses between social work and sustainable agriculture.
After having met with the folks doing the project (A group of Nicaraguans), we have been able to talk some logistics about doing volunteer work. We have been offered housing and food along with a basic living stipend in exchange for a 2 year commitment to working here in Nicaragua. So we will be spending a few weeks here doing some more training with the organization. We will then head to Guatemala to meet with our parents for a couple weeks, since they already had plane tickets to visit us, then we will return to Nicaragua to work with the project.
This is, of course, good and bad news as we were looking forward to seeing everyone, but we plan to make sure to have a few weeks back in the states around Christmas to try to see everyone´s faces, but we are excited about getting involved in something long term. More details to come.
APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See you in August!

TRACY.....You always could get me, but this one was worse than usual. (And it has to be pretty bad to be worse than snakes.) And Adam, You are just as bad as Tracy. Have a great day, knowing that you really got everybody's attention.
Ditto, Emily.
At first, on my computer, I scrolled down and didn't even see the "April Fool's" note. Whoa.
You guys have no heart. :)
