The night of the dance and closing reception/art show I
decided to walk home early to spend the evening with my family instead of
dancing. It was a great decision! I had a mini party with my host family.
Alyeris my host sister bought a 3-liter of pepsi and once she returned to the
porch with it, we all rejoiced in soft drinks and loud laughs. They also
painted my fingernails, which was a special little exchange. All of the women
in that household had beautiful nails that were extravagantly painted and
decorated. I felt like one of them with my manicured floral-ey design. Choosing
to spend that evening with them gave me a final night of wrapping up my stay at
my host family’s house. It’s a fond memory to keep returning to and mis uñas still are a reminder of time spent in my favorite part of Nicaragua – San Juan de
Limay - with my host family.
