March 2009 - Germany

I spent spring break in Bavaria with Mom, it's beaitiful! I had some...interesting German food, took some pictures and did some walking and enjoyed the sun. We also had an interesting expirience when we semi-illigally went to Austria.

Febuary 2009 - Nicaragua

Nicaragua was lots of fun! We spent a week in our village, El Futuro Del Manana, which was GREAT! Everyone was so warm and loving I got to practice my Spanish and had a wonderful trip. Despite the sand flea attack. We played a Gringo/Nica baseball game which was lots of fun, everyone got involved. Ann taught the ladies how to make cake, which was baked in a wood oven (a true baking feat!). They were so happy about the cake there was a parade through the village with the cake. We also had a tooth brushing clinic with those little pink thingys that turn everyone's teeth red. Dave, Melissa and I wrote a song in Spanish about brushing teeth called Lava Tus Dientes

Cuando te lavantas en la manana y oye el gallo

lava tus dientes, lava tus dientes

Despues que tu y tus padres comieron el almuerzo

lava tus dientes, lava tus dientes

cuando te pones tu pijama y antes de dormir

lava tus dientes, lava tus dientes

translation:

when you get up in the morning and hear the rooster

brush your teeth, brush your teeth

after you and your parents eat lunch

brush your teeth, brush your teeth

when you put on your pjamas and after you go to bed

brush your teeth, brush your teeth
