For the last week, I have been helping out at NCA-Nejapa campus. It is a Spanish speaking school, and I am helping in the English department. They do not have any native English speakers, so I am helping in a bunch of the classes, and also am going to be helping them develop curriculum and teaching style to hopefully become a little more activity based, versus copying from the board style. The campus is on the same property as the Nehemiah Centre, so I also pop in there.
Well, I definitely get a lot of stares (and catcall - not the most charming cultural difference) as I travel to NCA-Nejapa every morning. Its not very often that you see a women cycling (pedal not motor) in Managua, let alone a tall, white woman, who is riding a bike that is bright pink. Not that I can blame them, because I am looking around at all the different people and various modes of transportation that pass me on the way as well. I took my camera on my way today and took a bunch of pictures of what I see on my 10-15 minute pedal.

| Motocar - its amazing how many people can fit in this thing! It has seats for 3, but I think I have seen 6! |

| Huge trees frame the roadway, though it is the dry season, and the leaves are starting to turn brown. |

| Another Moto, and the intersection where I turn off the busy main road. |

| The road is shared with a lot of different transportation. |

Crossroads before the last turn.
