One man slowly gave us the finger and screamed for the fucking gringos to get out of the country, to get out!

The little boy smiled and waved, said hello and we smiled and said hello back.

The innocence of youth versus the rage of age. I understand why he is angry, the United States has continually fucked up and intervined in Nicaraguan affairs since 1833. He has every right to be angry and to direct it at us. The boy has every right to be happy because here, right now we are working to construct a better future for all of us. Its just a matter of how you see it and how each conversation and interaction goes. This is a lesson I am learning and living everyday. Today was just a good example.
