We have arrived in Nicaragua!! We arrived yesterday afternoon at the CGE house in Managua, the capital of Nicaragua. Nicaragua is gorgeous and really hot. The day before we left for Nicaragua, was the anniversary of Oscar Romero´s death. There were events going on all day. In the morning we went to a church service at the church where he was shot. Then we marched with the people of El Savador from the church to the Cathedral downtown. It was a beautiful march. There was music, people were giving speeches, there was artwork, people were holding signs, and people were chanting Que Vive! which means he lives! During the night they had a concert in Honor of Romero. This night was problably the highlight of El Salvador for me. The bands that played were amazing, and people were dancing and signing, one of my favorite bands from El Salvador played and they were amazing! The concert went all night long, so I did not get any sleep, but it was worth it!
Classes started today- I think these classes are going to be really interesting. I´m taking Topics in history, world history, women´s study class and a political and economic survey of Nicaragua class. Both of the professors seem really cool too, they both have interesting life stories!
