mouseworks at 02:48pm on 12/07/2010I'm amazed at the people who moved down to Nicaragua to live American lives in the defense of capitalism, car ownership, and so forth, not that a considerable chunk of Nicaraguans probably don't want SUVs, too.
The woman we spent time with in Jinotega forwarded an email from someone looking for housemates in Matagalpa (where the the humble campesinos/Matagalpa Indians tried to drive out the Danes in 1937 or so). Rent is $155 a month with wifi and all other utilities included, including weekly laundry, weekly house cleaning, and a night time security guard for the block. I don't know if this was already snapped up or what.
I went in to my doctor's office for the TB test and then hit MicroCenter for a USB DVR/CD read/write drive and headphones with a mike that will work with Skype. I'm rebeccca_brown1 there, in case anyone is interested. Also picked up a 4 Gig SD card for the Coolpix and stuff. Finished all the other stuff I need for the netbook, and think I may also buy a really big thumb drive for music, though I probably have room for music on the current internal drive.
More books need to be packed up and taken to the Salvation Army, but I've kinda run out of steam at the moment. Need to visit my family once before I go, probably this weekend. One of the tires may be losing air -- the indicator came on. I'll put the pump in the car just in case.
When I get back from that, the next order of business is emptying out the house the rest of the way.
