Day 2 - Nicaragua

Hola! Another fun filled day in the books. More educational than anything. We learned the proper techniques to use when discussing medical history with patients. As well as, how to examine the abdomen (among other body regions) using auscultation, palpitations and percussions. We also received a crash course in Spanish, so naturally I have no idea what anyone is saying. Hallo wie gehts, ich spreche deutsch.... Shoot that's German not Spanish. But in all seriousness, I'm slowly understanding more and more words and phrases. We didn't get to see the volcano today due to a time constraint but the light festival that took its place was brilliant. Just wait until you see!

Breakfast: cereal with warm milk that didn't need to be refrigerated (it really wasn't bad like it sounds), eggs and of course gallo pinto (rice and beans) and some of the greatest orange juice I've ever had
The daytime view is just as breathtaking
Visiting the mall
Gelato at e! Yea! Gelato

Dinner at Ola Verde (100% organic restaurant)
These piña coladas are so much better here
Christmas "festival" lights were so amazing and lit up the entire city of Managua. While all the other Christmas lights only come out once a year, these trees remain up permanently and are known as "happy trees" because they signify the gift of life

Tomorrow is our first day of home visits and ends with a New Years Eve dance party celebration. Buenos noches!
