[Week 2 in Matagalpa] [Note from Mom and Dad:  Today is Cayman’s Birthday, and he got to spend it on a P-day.  He even told us that he was going to splurge and eat at Subway because it was his birthday (pictures included).] This week has been better I think. Everyday still feels like the same...

Matagalpa – Week 7
