(Good) Luck Comes in Threes

    Today I:

      1. am declared healthy;
      2. found a 9-pair-pack of small star earrings;
      3. get to see Miss Cindy again!

 
Also, I am so happy to be able to leave Nicaragua – one or two more nights in León, two nights in Granada, maybe a stop in San Juan del Sur, and then OUT.

I’m a big ol’ know-it-all, so this feeds my ego much more than any “do you have a boyfriend?” conversation ever could.

Andrea Somethingorother got to play her and I was SO JEALOUS.
