Just a quick update.. been hanging out a lot with my friend Tina and her host family. Sunday was festival of the bulls. It´s somewhat like running of the bulls but less bulls at 1 time. Was at a friend of a friends house who lives on the street where it starts, and 1 by 1 they release 4 or 5 bulls on the main street and people run from them/to them. It was a crazy first time experience getting smooshed into the doorway as hundreds of people tried to run by/i was trying to make my way inside. For the rest of the day they had random bulls on random streets throughout granada. My "running with the bulls" experience was by accident. Tina and I got caught between a bull and the street we needed to get down on our walk home, so ended up running a couple blocks to be safe. I couldnt stick around too long, because in truth, it was really sad to watch the bulls and people taunting them. I believe 3 people died in all and 1 horse.
Monday after class, i then went with tina´s family to a nearby Laguna. Gorgeous water that we swam in for a few hours. This coming weekend is a huge party weekend for nicaragua, being the yearly celebration of Hipica.. origins i am still unsure of. Time is going by way to quickly and i cant believe i only have 2 weeks left... will try and write more later! love to ALL!
