La Luz

There’s something I keep forgetting to tell you guys (my fans)… everyday in Nicaragua the electricity (la luz) of the entire country goes out. Every day. This week it has been scheduled from 7-10 pm every night, but the weeks past that I’ve been here it was usually unpredictable. It’s really frustrating for an American. Not that we have A/C here to begin with (we dont), but to be reading, eating dinner, or doing homework, and then to have the lights go out is tough to get used to. At home in Texas when the power goes out for half an hour I get pretty pissed, and it’s kind of funny to think about that now.

It has to do with the government, which I’ve been trying to learn about but my spanish isn’t really good enough to get into details with the locals. I know a little though so if you are interested ask me about it.
