And so, queridos lectores (dear readers) our amazing little adventura nicaraguense finally has ended.
From our time in and around Nica, we have seen and experienced so much more than hospital tours and medical treatments. Our kind guides have shared their food (especially gallo pinto), their history, their land and roads, los insectos (especiales las hormiguas), their homes and their lives. In a cliche and but very true manner, our lives have been altered because of the people we met.
As a fitting farewell and look ahead, we decided to post our favorite song from the trip, "Yo no semañana" for our final entry. A translated excerpt:
"I don't know tomorrow, I don't know tomorrow
What we live now is something truly beautiful.
Who could know what will happen,
tomorrow there is nothing written."
After two increíbles weeks in Nicaragua, we have safely returned to the United States to begin our final semester of nursing school.
We would like to extend thanks to UPOLI (faculty and students), Don JM (our fearless driver), CI Jane, DuSON and all other new friends and family that made our trip possible. We will be sure to carry our very special community clinical experience with us in our corazones y mentes--and maybe a little extra peso (weight) from the rice and chicken. The insight we gained will follow us from the barrio Villa Libertad into our remaining nursing school clinicals and future nursing careers.
Muchisimas gracias Nicaragua. Aunque no sabemos manana, es verdad que vamos a echarle de menos. (Thank you Nicaragua. Although we don't know what tomorrow will be, it is an absolute that we will miss you).
Un gran beso a todos,
Sarah y Alicia
