Day 9-Nicaragua

Day 9 would be our final day at the farm.

We were to travel around to different farms with our

friend Martine. He is the pastor of this community.

We started our excursion at about 830 am.

First, we visited one of the lady farmers who 

came to the soap making class.

We got to see where her family lives and
try to understand how they survive. We got to see her
corn grinder and how she makes flour for food.

We  had a good day of touring different homes in the area.
The day had come to an end, and we went back to Chinadega
as our host family had dinner waiting for us.  It was a relaxing
evening as tomorrow we would move on to our next destination.
