This past week has been extremely busy. Coming back from the rural stay, I was a little sick, but no worries I have fully recovered. This past weekend was nice and relaxing. Friday we went to a baseball game, the national sport here. Managua played Leon and lost 5-0. It was really fun- and completely differenct than baseball games in the U.S. The concession stand system is crazy! The moment you walk in the stadium women with cute fluffy skirts offer you cervecas and gaseosas (beers or sodas) and theres women constantly walking around trying to sell some food of some sort, no hot dogs though. Its really fun to watch. In between innings they play music and everyone gets up and dances- it was really fun.
Saturday I just hung out with my host family- it was my host sister´s birthday. Sunday a couple girls and I went all over Managua trying to find one specific store. It was so much fun- I got to see alot of Managua and kind of figure out the bus system. That evening we went to a folk ballet. It was so cool! Im folk ballet women dance around in big colorgul gorgeous dresses that look really cool when you spin. The men wear really colorful costumes and sometimes masks. It was really cool.
This week I have been doing alot of homework. We had our history final today- which went well. and tommorrow is the weekend!!!
