I have been in Managua now for the past four days. Today may be the day where I have the chance to leave and go to the department capital of Chinandega. I had come to Managua to give a charla with my counterpart and we traveled through torrents of rain and witnessed flooding [...]

Im so sorry that all of those that have been following my blog with any interest have been sitting around and waiting… and waiting…. and waiting. I am less sorry about not updating photos, there is some money involved with pushing those kinds of bits and I am very cheap nowadays. Lastly I am somewhat sorry for [...]

I am still slowly getting my permanant life together.  I purchased a bed and a fairly large table for my personal space which is still not ready.  This will explain why there has been a bit of a backlog for mail since I dont really have the surface area to organize myself.  I´ll give a [...]

This is going to be a short post. Happy New Years!

The house is coming together pretty well and I getting a head start on some secondary projects.  The first one is gross and wonderful because it turns gross stuff into wonderful stuff.  Let me explain.  Vermiculture is the process of using earthworms to eat organic matter and turn it into humus, which is worm castings [...]
