I am in Nicaragua to visit Eduardo, who is in Nicaragua to do a construction project on his mom's house. She has a wall that surrounds the house, as is typical, but it was very low and did not really offer any security. So Eduardo has been hard at work, with another guy or two, mixing cement and building the wall nice and high. He is up around 5:30am each day and works until it is just too dark to see.
Monday was his mom's birthday. Two sisters and thier three kids came over to the house along with his uncle and aunt. I swung the kids in the hammock and spent a while talking to his uncle. I actually met him in Costa Rica, too. I really like the uncle and aunt. They have been married 30 years and still seem smitten with each other. At one point, everyone was in the house doing things except for the uncle and I, and he took the opportunity to explain to me that he could do anything in the world...except live without his wife. The two of them stayed so late however, that I had to excuse myself and go to bed. There is a certain time of night when my brain just stops registering spanish.
