Well it doesnt really seem like its the Christmas season here. It is hot, and dry and dusty, which is way better than white, slimy, cold and miserable:)Ok sorry for those of you who dont like the cold. Nicaraguans celebrate Christmas on the 24th so today most people arent working. Actually, they celebrate in the evening and all night long. Then recovery day would be tomorow. Yesterday, two guys were out at our house, and they spotted a big iguana in our mango tree. so i climbed up the tree, and they were throwig rocks at it, and we finally knocked it out and the one guy caught it before it hit the ground, or else it would be gone in a flash. They suposedly dont bite. then we played with it for a while, and skun it out and fried it. WOW. It was very good, but it didnt taste like chicken. But then there are the gorrobo, and they are bigger, and they bite extremely hard, and they are harder to find. I would like to get a couple with my slingshot, but i rarely see them. Plus, someone stole my slingshot, so i am in the process of making a couple more. Tonight, we are going out to the volcano with all the Americans, and some of the people that come to church, and we are going to climb it and watch the sunset, andthen have a hotdog roast. It should be a lot of fun. On monday, we got together and made Christmas buckets. We put like, salt, sugar, rice, soap, oil, and just some necesities in them, and then last night, we went caroling and handed the buckets out. It was a lot of fun, and the people really enjoyed it. Yesterday, i also had to work on the motorcycle a little. That is always fun for me. Delmar was driving it and got a 3inch nail stabbed right through the tire. So i took the wheel off, and walked out to the tires shops along the road, and paid $1.00 to get it fixed. haha. Things here are very cheap. Then i went to put the wheel back on today, and noticed that the wheel dampers were worn out and shot, so i biked out to the Honda place and bought some new ones and put them in also, and now it rides nice and smooth. That is what i do a lot here. Just whatever needs to be done. Fixing things, breaking things, studying, and visiting with anybody that wants to. I love my life down here, and i wouldnt trade it for the world. I wish everybody could have this experience, although it can be tough at times. I hope yall have a wonderful Christmas and all. Thanks for yall support in any way that yall have given..Joel
