The academic portion of the Nicaragua ended today with impressive Spanish presentations. Wednesday was the last Reunion and a time to celebrate Elena's birthday with miniature lemon tarts and cinnamon rolls. (We celebrated Stephanie's several weeks ago and did not get the picture up, so here it is.) During the Reunion we also practiced a few songs for the host family party.

Tuesday was the last lecture with an overview of how Nicaragua compares to other Central American countries.

Tonight is the party for the host families and others that have helped the Nica SST be a great success these last six weeks. Stay tuned for pictures of that event in the next few days.

Tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. the first group heads out for their service locations and the rest will be leaving at 9 a.m. They all seem ready for their next adventure.
