Tommorrow we move in with our families!! Today we found out who we will be living with and a little history about the community. I am really excited, however we move in tommorrow then on Friday we leave for spring break so I won´t have much time to talk with them but I will have five weeks with them after!
Today we went to an indigenous community that has been preserving its history through pottery, so they have a huge pottery artisan market. We had the opportunity to make our own pottery, which was really fun. Then this afternoon we had a speaker about the history of the Atlantic side of Nicaragua. The culture on the east side is completely different than on the Pacific side. It was colonized by the British rather than the Spanish so there are different indigenous ethnicities and also there is a Carribean influence. Its really interesting, I´m hoping we have time to go visit!!
