He's back!

Cannon made it home safely from Nicaragua on Saturday night.  We all went to the airport to greet him.  He looked tired, but happy and says he wants to go back soon.  In fact he was petitioning his Spanish teacher to get a group together for this summer!

I had told him he wasn't aloud off the plane unless he had coffee from Nicaragua.  I think he took me quite literally - look at his suitcase!

It's not all for me!  Some of it was for presents and thank you gifts...

Our other presents included some cool black pottery from a studio in Jinotega.  Cannon tells me that black clay is found in only 3 areas of the world.  The clay itself is a dark grey, but when fired it turns black.  He also tells me that the potters take their whole family and hike 3 kilometers into the mountains and then have to dig a meter down to find the clay.  I think the worst part would then be hauling it back the 3 kilometers!

Look for a post from Cannon soon...
