Nicaragua, Part Two

Some of you might have been wondering, what's with Mike's face?
 
 
Turns out he found an annatto pod - which is used as food coloring in things such as cheddar cheese, butter, and snack foods. (Cheestos, anyone?) Yesterday, we did have a nice day relaxing by the pool and resting. Although the papparazzi did catch up with me.
 
 
We still have icky colds today (sounds like Mike is trying to hack up a cat), but we were able to get out today. We visited a Comassion project that has various vocational trainings for the kids, like baking, computers and barbering. Mike even got a hair cut!
 



Then we went to a restaurant for lunch where Mike got Nicaraguan style cheese fondue.


In the afternoon, we went to a project where Mike and I played with play dough with the 3 to 5 year olds. They, of course, loved Mike who does lots of silly faces and noises. They loved him so much, in fact, that several of them jumped on him and tried to beat him up. Now we're recovering at the hotel.

What fun! Thanks for the update. No surprise the kids all love Michael. I hope you both get healthy soon. We saw Allie on Skype on Monday. She seemed to be happy and enjoying herself but I'm sure she'll be good and ready to have her parents back by the time you return. We're praying for all of you!
