some photos

I am sitting in my regular internet cafe (where everyone knows me so well, of course!) on a lazy Sunday afternoon, nursing a slight hangover after double birthday celebrations last night. Both Johanna (one of my housemates) and Guillermo (who works in our office) had their actual birthdays yesterday, so we went out for dinner and then to Cafe Nuit - of course - and then on to Kayak, one of the late night bar/clubs down on the lake shore. Let's just say much rum was drunk and I got home this morning at 7am! Oh, to be young(ish) and having fun (I now allow myself a little gentle dancing every now and again, as my ankle seems to be improving)...

So, I realise that once more it's been a long time since my last post here, and that I'd better put down at least a few words. I have nothing super-exciting to say today, since life continues in its usual Granada way: with work, socialising, household stuff, cooking/eating, poker night, volunteers coming and going, and the occasional trip away (like an afternoon spent with Becca at the big handicrafts market in Masaya on Friday looking for birthday presents, or the regular volunteer boat trip to Las Isletas last Sunday). Perhaps the hangover is inhibiting my writing abilities too - yes, probably. I left a house-full of sore heads and tired bodies lying on the sofas and armchairs watching a film on cable TV (so hopefully the TV won't do its usual half-hourly regular breakdowns when we have to bang it so hard you think it might break to recover the picture, as I don't think anyone could cope with the noise).

Anyway, just so I have something to add here, I thought I'd link in some missing photos albums, which do have captions at least so even though they're out of sync with my posts (most are from Mexico), they should give you all something to look at.
