I watched with fascination
out the window of our bus
to see the normal
day to day living
of the people in Nicaragua.
I loved seeing the women
carrying their heavy loads
on their heads or shoulders.
Pretty amazing if you ask me.
I know I couldn't do it!
And it seems like the women
are constantly sweeping.
Sweeping the sidewalks
in front of their humble homes,
working to keep their
little corners of the world
clean and bright.
We even spotted
a broom salesman.
I'll bet he stays busy!
And have you noticed
the women's aprons?
Not everyone wears an apron,
but a lot of them do.
And some are so frilly
and pretty, like this one!
Another thing I noticed
while we were in Nicaragua
was the beautiful colors
they paint their homes.
Even the most humble of buildings
are painted bright, vivid colors.
These are the kinds of things
I love to watch for when I travel.
The sights and sounds of everyday life.
Come back tomorrow for part 2!
