Its pouring down rain here- palm tree limbs flying and wind blowing, rain beating down on the tin roof awesomeness. Apparently according to our host family it rains like once a week or so here during this time. At least maybe the heat will go away since it is raining J

This base I am staying at is located in Ejido Buenos Aires, a small community close to Matamoros. We went into Matamoros Tuesday and Thursday to help out cleaning up the school AIM is starting there. The institute's building was originally on this property but they are moving the school to the property they own in Matamoros. When we were there some of us got to talk to some of the locals that live in that area.

We are also having Spanish lessons – this week it was Mon, Wed, Fri in the morning- we are learning good conversational phrases and vocabulary in order to be able to effectively communicate with the people we are helping out. It will be especially good for the Nicaragua team because we will need it when we go down there at the end of November. I am excited to learn Spanish, but as of now my Spanish probably would be equated to that of a 4 yr old. Oh well, at least I will learn and will be able to communicate with the kids in Nicaragua!!
