Sunday morning, Lenka and I walked from El Rosario to La Paz, where there is a famous panaderia (bakery) and a few more Peace Corps trainees. We were falsely told that it was only about a 20 minute run away…so we figured it was a 30 minute walk more or less. MORE! It might be a 20 minute run for a professional soccer player, because it took us an hour to walk there! Nonetheless, we needed the exercise and really enjoyed the scenery. It was super peaceful and beautiful. We passed fields of sugar cane and also a sugar cane processing area. We also passed large expanses of open pasture which reminded me of home in north Louisiana except there are banana trees and no pine trees. This brought Lenka and I to a conversation about Pangea. We were imagining where Nicaragua would fit into the African continent, and that it would look similar.
When we got to La Paz, we visited fellow trainee Lauren. She introduced us to her host family and a litter of 8 day old puppies. They were so cute with their little eyes closed rolling over one another. Afterward, Lauren took us to the famous bakery for pan dulce and then we started on our long walk home.
