Reunion in NYC

It's been about four months since the last post... this little blog, declared finished and completed, is now back to life... (sort of).

Time has flown by, after a chaotic and eventful summer in Eastern LI.  We learned that our friend, Bridget, an integral part of our Nicaraguan experience, was going to be in New York City.  Visiting her was a must... so Phil, Jordan, sus novias (los chatts), and myself... went to spend an exciting evening with Bridget at her brothers' place.

Even more exciting (not more exciting than Bridget..... well..), was that another awesome individual Phil and I had the pleasure of living with for a week at our place in Esteli, was going to be there too.  His name is Chad. He was talked about on this blog... way back in February.  He is featured in the "Adventures of Esteli" post.


A reunion of us Long Island kids with Chad and Bridget was truly memorable.  And after only knowing them in Nicaragua, and then hanging out in NYC together, it felt odd to see them here.  But definitely amazing.

Chad and Bridget!!!!!!!

Having a nice ol' time on the rooftop of Bridget's bro's building.  We did a lot of reminiscing on the past year and the many funny moments we had.

Chad lived over in the Caucasus region for a while and he knows quite a bit about the Russians.  He said this is how they would take a traditional photo.  Good stuff.

Here's C. Chatt with Bridge.
And lastly, one nice group pic featuring the LI kids with Bridget and the Chad.  An epic reunion.

Kinda weird blogging about this. But I was tempted to blog one more time.. cuz I definitely miss it. No one really wants to hear about what people are doing in NY....that is, if you're from New York.


And on one final note, I would like to take this opportunity to post one of my new favorite pics taken in Nicaragua.  It serves as a fantastic desktop wallpaper...

This photo encompasses a small portion of a farm in Miraflor, the rural territory for Esteli.  And in the corner is Arturo and another brother preaching to the worker.  Only good memories from Nicaragua....
