They're shaving Cory's head

Actually, you'll hear more about the shaving part tomorrow...that was
just a preview.

We woke up yesterday and went in search of an orphanage. It's kind of
awkward for 4 guys to walk up to an orphanage, but the ladies that
work there let us right in. We were able to share what we are doing on
this trip, and we asked them about their needs. They shared with us
the need for food. They were basically down to their rice and beans.
Of course we couldn't walk away without getting them some food, but
you can read about that in the Good Deeds Blog.

One of the downsides of not driving ourselves on this trip is that
they shared a few needs on their building that I'm sure we would have
been able to fix if we had the van and a few tools, but we had to
settle for the food.

After that, we met with a guy from Young Life and talked about their
ministry and their camps. I think there's a lot of potential there.

We couldn't work out our last appointment so we decided to go catch a
movie. It's pretty crazy, but when you go to the movies in Nicaragua,
they assign you an actual seat...and they have bathrooms for women
only.

There was a fashion show going on at the mall with some dancing. I
thought all Latinas could dance, but I was very, very wrong. I did
what any self-respecting person from the Philly area would do...I
boo'd them. You'll have to ask Jordan what happened when I was
talking when the music stopped.

I finally got a salad in the food court and it was great. The food
courts down here aren't huge but each one has at least 4 fried chicken
places and usually 3 Chinese places. Very weird. For those of you who
are wondering, you can't open the ketchup packets here either.

Today we took a bus ride up to Grenada. We managed to cram into the
tiny seats. The bus was packed. Cory had a beautiful girl crammed next
to him. I had a 400+ pound man.

We took a boat ride out to the islands. We got to see some monkeys in
the wild. We were promised that we could feed them bananas, but the
tour guide said he "forgot" them. We got to play with the one monkey,
but I still felt ripped off. It was fun though.

We're off to do some laundry because that's what 4 guys do on a Saturday night.
