HOLA!! Como estas?!

I've been here now for 4 days and i feel as if my brain is going to turn to mush at any moment. 4 hours of Spanish classes everyday.... what in the world was i thinking?! Its good though. The people here are wonderful and all the Nicas (nicaraguan people) are very helpful and all the men honk and whistle at you (very good for building the confidence). I've already visited the rainforest, saw wild monkeys, almost got run over (people here drive like MANIACS and the roads are the WORST i've ever seen), attacked by a large insect, I've seen a coffee tree and a pineapple plant, went to mass in a cemetery for All Souls Day, used an Internet cafe (where i didn't understand a lick of what they were saying) and drank papaya juice from a plastic bag at a road-side stand. Tonight we are going on a night time volcano tour to see the "incandescence" as my spanish professor says it and into some caves.
