bus troubles
Hi
sorry I dont write, but I am working really hard right now and have so little time whenI come to Esteli. I freask out a lot and am starting to act like a professor I dont like who talks really stern to everyone and takes it out on people when she stresses. I am trying not to do that. My team of people has now grown to nine. I manmage nine people in spanish and English, and the two Americans just got here. They have shown me cool new stuff for birds, especially bird clinic stuff for when they are stressed, but I get the idea that they, especially julie, think I am stressing the birds out too much. We will try and work it out. We talked once already, and willporbably do so again.
We though Rowan migth have Dengue fever, so I brought him to Esteli to get tested just incase it was hemorhagic Dengue, but its not Dengue, just some other viral infection.
I am trying to decide whether just to go to Managua to extend my VISA, or to go to COsta Rica and learn a new fiel method. I might pick option number two...
The river Estlei has now gotten too high for the bus to cross, and has been so for the past two weeks, and look like it might continute to be so for awhile. This makes life difficult as it is a 1-2 hour walk to another bus which is another 2 hours, but then the return journey is ALL UPHILL; so that means I cannot really bring back any food or equipment that is heavy. And it means you cant rally go to town in back in just one day.
Anyhow, the internet guy obviously wnats to close, so I am going to go now
I love you all and stuff
Love
melissa
