We had our first day of classes at the Florence School of Law. It is a nice school, but definitely not on par with American schools. Most of the students brought their laptops along to class to take notes (including yours truly). Unfortunately, there was only 1 outlet in the entire room to plug in the laptops. So, I am using the last hour of my laptop power in class to make sure that I write my blog while I have the internet. The internet at our hotel is outrageously priced, and can only be used by one person per room. My roommates and I were going to try to split the cost, but it was unworkable, so we are back to no internet. Hopefully the rest of the hotels on our other trips will provide internet and basic ammenities like Toilet Paper. We had one roll in our room for three girls when we got there. A few days past, and our room was never serviced with maidservice. We had to go down to the front desk and ask for extra toilet paper. Everything in Florence is super expensive and very different. It's definitely an experience.

Heat
So far, we are not dealing with heat here at home. It did get to 80 on Monday. We are still getting rain every few days. How about a picture of the 3 of you. Maybe one of your room. Sounds like traveling is better in Nicaragua. We miss you.
