Claire 1 – 0 Unemployment

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

To get this blog finally up to date I´m fast forwarding a bit. So here are a few journal entries from my time in Nicaragua. I´ll get back to writing way too much about small events soon!

We had a few police checks along the way. Everybody had to jump and put on a lifejacket, and then just threw them off again when the coppers were out of sight.
