Some would say there are many differences between life in Nicaragua and life in the USA, others would say there are a few differences but generally life is the same. I tend to say that there are many differences, some are good, fun, frustrating and funny.
In first grade at NCA we were recently learning about wild and tame animals. We spent 6 weeks talking about all different aspects of animals. One activity in particular struck me as I thought about a typical response for a class in the US vs. Nicaragua.
Here are the responses to the question: What animals do you find in your backyard?
Do you see any differences?? Angie, the aid who is new to Nicaragua laughed as she looked at our list. :-) Not many of you would say that you have pigs and bats in your backyard. The things that didn't make the list because we ran out or room were: snakes, lizards, beetles, possums, and frogs.
The same week I shot this photo in my living room at home.
