Nashville bound. Time to put on my other hat and lead a workshop on writing sales copy at a marketing conference.

Some authentic resources to use in Spanish class from a walk through La Concha, Nicaragua today. Very useful for the command form of “vos.”

Thank you for all of your support that allows me to do the work that I love in Nicaragua. I went to the market and got supplies to use with students this week as I’m volunteering. This is all thanks to your support. Muchas Gracias. 🙏🏾

This is where Ninfa (my conversation partner) and I sat down to chat in Spanish today. Great view of the Masaya volcano as we talked about everything from formal and informal economies to the new speed limit in Nicaragua (50 KH).

Back volunteering at the after school project. So great to reconnect with Kelsey and Maria who do such great work with the kids from around Barrio San Juan in Nicaragua.

10+ years and I’m more excited each time.
