Day 6

We woke up this morning to the birds chirping and the sun shining through the window. After eating breakfast, we headed out to the Fabretto center in town. We had some time to kill before a cultural presentation and some of us played basketball or jumped rope with the kids. The cultural presentation was next, done by preschoolers. They sang us head, shoulders, knees and toes in English, a typical Nicaraguan folk song and a historic dance. After leaving the school in Estelí, we headed out to the Fabretto school outside the town. Some of us worked on digging more rocks out of the garden and others moved rocks and dirt to the back of a building to make cement for the shed. We finished the morning with a kickball game and lunch. We then headed about an hour out to a scenic viewpoint. It was about a 10 minute hike to a beautiful view. On the way back into Estelí, we stopped at a smoothie and garden place. We walked around all of the plants and found a playground. Some of us got smoothies, banana yogurt, Nutella and bread or hummus and bread. A couple hours after this, we headed out to dinner at a chicken restaurant. It was very yummy. After, we all walked back to the hotel to pack and sleep for our last night in Estelí.
