I am traveling to Nicaragua with Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua (WCCN) from June 10-18, 2006 for their study seminar "Changing Nicaragua from the Ground Up: The Power and Promise of Nicaraguan Women."

We arrived in Leon tonite after a bit of a delay due to the bus breaking down half way from Managua. So, we got to sit alongside the road and watch the traffic go by. Then we got to our hotel and went out to eat and some kids on a bike flew past and grabbed Mary Ann's purse. Bummer.This morning in Managua we had three meetings. I'll try to post summaries and details later. Right now I am in a cyber cafe (right next to the Ben Linder cafe!) without my notes or laptop, so I can´t even upload pix from today. Maybe tomorrow. But we are having interesting discussions about feminism and empowerment and social movements and is giving me good ideas and material for my courses.
Anyway, that´s about all for now. Virginia is probably writing more interesting things in her blog, so go over there. </Marc> <!--9:07 PM-->
