Nicaragua Day 10

I returned to my home in Hurricane, Utah this morning around 4 a.m. after traveling the thousands of miles from Nicaragua. The last ten days have been an incredible experience for me. I am so grateful that I was able to go to Nicaragua and do the many things that we did there. It was a valuable and unique experience, not to mention a wonderful graduation present. We stayed in three locations; Las Peñitas (Leon), Merida (Ometepe), and Laguna de Apoyo (Granada). Our itinerary consisted of a travel day followed by a strenuous day then an easy day, prior to the next travel day. I turned my cell phone off day 1 in Miami and left it off until day 10 on our return trip through Miami. It was nice going 10 days without using or needing my phone. I had mixed feelings about coming home. I wanted to come home and get started on the next phase in my life, but I also wanted to stay and experience more in Nicaragua and being a part of the bigger world we live in. That experience is now over and new ones are coming soon. I am excited to start working this summer for the Forest Service. I will continue making posts on this blog of my experiences working as a Fisheries Technician and any other adventures I have along my journey as a biologist.
