I want to play dominos!!!

Walked around Granada today...Im still in love! It hasnt changed. Its even more beautiful...cleaner, more brillant bright, more alive...after spending time in the Dominican Zona Colonial. You are always sure to find something new and exciting as you walk down the same streets. Today I found Cafe Chavalos, a cafe started by a woman to help get kids off the street and off of sniffing glue. I watched a documentary on it a few months ago.
You are always asured genuine smiles as you pass people hanging out on the sidewalks or on their porches. The most genuine smiles Ive ever seen in my life. The people move in a purposeful and yet relaxed way. The gringos and the nicas mix perfectly...seems like it was always that way.
Ive been eating up a storm. There is something special about their rice and beans and meat. It makes me feel healthy!
I stopped by CafeEmail which is no longer an internet. It is now a restaurant and bar. Weird. Mario was there but he is the only one left from the original group. It was good to see him.
Tonight Im hanging out with Jaqueline. Tomorrow I meet up for dinner with my Visions team and then we leave for Jinotega on Monday! I just found out the kids come on Tuesday. Not much time to adjust but Im excited to get it started...and hopeing it goes by quickly so I can go home!!!
Missing everyone LOTS!!!
