So, to make this brief(though i undoubtedly fail miserably at

brievity)



In about 2 hours I leave for Nicaragua. Excited! 11 days of

travelling the country, working with farmers, learning about how Fair

Trade works on the ground, networking with other american activists,

and taking deep breaths of central american air. 



I got home from the ISE and living in a tent for 2 months about 3

days ago. Being home for 3/4 days is really nothing. Its funny, to

think that this time last year I was running around the streets of

Montreal protesting the WTO then going home to get ready for Europe,

now I'm off to Nicaragua to work with Fair Trade farmers then home to

protest the republicans in nyc at the end of the month(beth, anne,

and anyone else who might think that ridiculous i offer only polite

and insincere apologies).

that link will take you to some photos from the ISE in vermont, all

day learning political theory, all night dancing. Balance was

achieved. 



with love, hugs, open arms, hope, and happiness
