We have made it home safe and sound! We are tired and missing Granada but it's nice to be home.
Our last week in Granada was a full one. We finished our build of the Hernandez house on Thursday August 11th 2016. We spent the morning and most of the afternoon on Thursday to finish the build. The day was spent putting all the finishing touches up on the house. The cement floor was completed, and we put up all of the exterior wood. It was an emotional day, full of excitement to be finished, but also sad to be say goodbye. The builders have been wonderful to work with and even though we didn't speak a common language, we understood quite a lot just from gestures and intuition. The Hernandez family is going to enjoy many years of happiness and memories in their new house, and we are so excited that Ashly will have a safe and happy place to grow up.
Our last days in Granada were spent with our ayudantes, meeting a few expats, visiting Masaya market, and just enjoying the city a few more times before heading home.
First off we want to thank Jerry soooooo much. He has been a valuable friend to have during our time in Nicaragua. He worked with us each day on the build site and helped us translate and work on our Spanish. His sense of humour was extremely enjoyable and he made some of the harder days a little easier. We hope for great things for Jerry. He has so much potential and we know his future is bright!
