Spanish School and Jungle Boat Adventures!

Today we began our Spanish classes!!! Its four hours straight of one on one tutoring! Its way intense and I think I learned more today than I did in an entire semester at UofA!

After the classes we went on a tour of the 365 little islands in Cocibolca and played with monkies and swam! Check out the pics and videos below!

Katie poses for a pic with her Nicaraguan boyfriend!

Welcome to Our Blog!

Note! I moved many of the pictures to the bottom of the page, under the blog posts!

If you are here to follow Bryan's adventure (after this trip) go to bryanthomasbaker.blogspot.com

The first two weeks of our trip will be spent at the New Hope Children's Foundation in El Crucero, Nicaragua! Here we will blessed to serve at this Christian orphanage and school!

For an idea of what New Hope is all about, please visit this website: http://www.newhopechildrensfoundation.org/

Then we will proceed to the colonial city of Granada, Nicaragua where we will take an intensive spanish program and stay with Nicaraguan families! We will also spend much time in and near Cocibolca (Lake Nicaragua) as well as on the dormant Volcan Mombacho, which towers over the city!

After a week in Granada we will head to Costa Rica, where we will also take intensive spanish courses... and spend much downtime on the BEACH!

After this fun-filled week some of us will return to the USA, and others will return to New Hope for two more weeks of service...

Then Bryan will be joined by others as he flies down to Lima, Peru... to eventually complete a 7 day trek through the Andes to Machu Picchu!

It will be the summer of a lifetime! Be sure to keep track of our adventures right here!
