Thank you Megan for responding to the students. Back at home it's cold and raining. The kids are all hoping for snow this winter. In fact yesterday it snowed at Mt. Hood 15 inches in 24 hours.
Megan, were there really monkeys in your boat?!?!? Were they big and scary or were they tiny? What is your favorite fruit? How long have you been living in Nicaragua? Sincerely, Brittany
Hi! I’m K.P. short for Kory so I saw that you were really close to that volcano. It probably looks really cool. How’s your stay in Nicaragua because its really cold down here and they say that were going to have the biggest snow storm. Kory
Hello Megan, I like wildlife so much. It’s so incredible. Do like to see wildlife? Are there any big cats there? I love tigers. Do you know any wildlife there?
Thank you very much for writing me back. I appreciate the time you are taking to write me. Today I have a few general questions and one specific question. A few of the questions are a little about getting to know you… Like what is your favorite color? What is your favorite food? Questions like that. The number 1 question I would like you to answer is... What made you want to do what you are doing for a living? Well thank you for your time. Your friend, Lexi(:
Hello, my name is Karissa how is your host family? Are they like your family in a way? If they are what is the same about them if not what is different? How is you life style different?
Did you know that I had to take a bath in a bucket before? The plumbing wasn’t working, so I had to, but I didn’t smell any better after that. How snowy does it get there? Does it snow there? If it snows do you ski or sled? Do they celebrate Halloween there? Do they celebrate Christmas there? I went to Hawaii in 2009. June 26th my Birthday.
Hello Megan, In Keizer there is supposed to be a big snow storm sometime this winter. There was a big snow storm two years ago and it was awesome. We got one day of snow last year but of course I was gone to California for Christmas. That wasn’t fun for me but oh well. Taylor O.
Do you ever go home and visit your family and does your family come and visit you? Do you have to get use to the time difference? Do you play any games like soccer, softball, or basketball? What’s your favorite thing there? Are there any fast food places, like McDonalds or Burger King? Why did your running water go away? What does that mean... did it steam up? Is the school your in like college and what grade are you teaching? Kenzie
Is it hard to climb a volcano? Because I bet there were a lot of rocks! Oh, and did you find that rare kind of rock? It is the one that Indians used for arrows. I think. I wondered if teaching English was hard. Toby
Is it beautiful? Is it fun? Is it cool? Are there a lot of volcanoes in Nicaragua? Have you been sick before in Nicaragua? What kind of sports do you play? What do you like to do? Kyle
I would love to do Skype with you it would be so much fun. This is going to be so much fun to maybe talk to you face to face. I have one question have you ever been in choir? Your truly, Beth
space between every word that I type. When I type punctuation, I want to “smoosh” it up against the last letter that I typed and then press the spacebar. Carol
Thank you so much for answering my questions, I really appreciate it. I wonder if you’re scared. Do you have any friends down there? Are you going to have Thanksgiving down there? I hope you are having a wonderful time, I know I would. I hope we get to Skype sometime. Mrs.Proudfit is a wonderful teacher; I bet her daughter is great too! Lisette
I was wondering how the hotels looked different from the ones in America. And I was thinking how different it is in Nicaragua from America. It sounded really fun teaching other people and it sounds cool to have a experience like taking a bucket bath or sweating so much. And finally thanks for responding back to me last time. David
When I read the story called a fun trip at the end of the story I saw the things that you listed that you never done before and it said you never had seen men on top the bus holding peoples bags. What did that feel like to you? I was also wondering how they stand while there driving do they just stand and hold the bags or do they sit and hold the peoples bags. Cassandra
HI, I’m Grace and I saw a picture of you with a bunch of people and I was wondering how many new people have you met in Nicaragua? I was also wondering what language Nicaragua speaks because I saw that you said *se fue* means went away, what other languages do you know, and is the language hard?: Grace
How is it going? Did you see lava? Is it fun? Was it fun to see the volcano? How is the weather? Is this fun to you? Have you seen any interesting animals?
Hello Megan! My name is Kayla I like that we can talk to you about what you are doing there. I’m curious if you found any interesting rocks in the volcano you where in. are you having fun exploring? How do you communicate with us? Kayla
What do you think about the volcano’s there? Were you scared? Did the volcanos have any names? I have seen a really big volcano before it was really scary and I don’t think I will be doing it again…maybe someday…
Hello my name is Evan, That hostel that you stayed at sounded pretty cool and there are bunk beds!! Sweet I used to have a bunk bed in my room. Also do they have TV in the hostels because I love TV? What is the capital of the country? Ok that’s all I can say for now I hope you have a great time in Matagalpa Sincerely Evan
I have always wanted to go on a trip to a volcano. Is it really big? I wish I went. Was it fun going on the trip to the volcano? Is it weird that you don’t have washing machines there? Are the monkeys really big there? Do they climb on you, if so does it hurt? Is Nicaragua fun? Ian
I have always wanted to go to Nicaragua to see all the people living there. What do the people really look like there? What do you guys wear? Do you know how to say Nicaragua in Spanish? Where you are has some volcanoes, where I am (Salem) there are not any. I have aaaaalways wanted to see an actual volcano up close. I hope you have a great rest of the time there. :-D
Megan what is the weather like there. Is it rainy, cloudy, or sunny? Have you enjoyed your stay so far? I would love to know. Is it really hot by the volcano? Nate
I like volcanoes. They’re awesome! Don’t you think so too? I’m now reading a book about them. Did you know that there was one volcano eruption in the Pacific could be heard all the way to New York? Cool huh? How is the weather there? Here it’s super + 59 and rainy! Jacen
Hello Megan! My name is Kayla I like that we can talk to you about what you are doing there. I’m curious if you found any interesting rocks at the volcano you where visiting. Are you having fun exploring? How do you communicate with us? Kayla
Hi, my name is Mariah. Did you see the volcano erupt? I really liked the pictures. I wish I could show you mine. I also saw your time compared to our time that’s cool because they are so far apart. How long are you there for? And how many degrees do you think it is. Was it hot to you? How close were you by the volcano? Mariah
That is so cool how you got to see that volcano!!!! Were you scared??? Were the hotels you stayed in were they cramped? Any way back to the volcano did you see it blow up and how long did you stay at the volcano??? How do have computer connection there??? What color was the volcano was it gray or brown or was it red. Why did you go to Nicaragua?? I loved your pictures I wish I could show you my pictures!!!!! I wish I could see a volcano up close like you did!!! Was it like so cool!!! Do you have any animals? I have three I have one boy dog named Charlie and a girl dog named lillie and mercie!! I want a cat and hamster but my mom says NO MORE PETS!!!!! Any ways its so cool that your there im jealous!!!! Sincerely, Kimmie
I have never been on a school bus with three to a seat, and I never been on a school bus with the aisle full, either. What is it like on the school bus? How often do you ride on the bus? From: Noah
I saw that picture of the lake that was a volcano. It reminds me a lot about Crater Lake that’s in Oregon. I have seen pictures of Crater Lake and I want to go to it sometime. Austin
I think it was cool how you got to teach 7th graders from there English and pronunciation of English words. Are you having fun teaching over there? If so do you want to stay in Matagalpa or go back to your training town? And last but not least, how much fun are you having in Nicaragua? Sincerely, Chilo
Megan, Hi I’m really curies do you no how close you are to where they shout survivor Nicaragua? Me and my parents record Survivor and then watch it the next night I have 3 or 4 Survivor buffs. Bye. Faith
Hello, my name is RaeAnn its kind of hard to pronounce. But anyway was it hot by the volcano?? I think volcanoes are very interesting too, I wish I could know more about them. And so if you know anything about volcanoes can you tell me a little about them. If you can that would be nice Thank you, RaeAnn
Hi Megan! What’s it like to sleep under a mosquito net? Because I have never slept under a mosquito net before. At my house I have a net That’s pink and you can also see through and I think it would look kind of like a mosquito net. I bet its cool to sleep under a mosquito net.
Was it hard being in one room with a lot of people? Were the beds comfortable or were they as hard as a rock? So you don’t get to take a shower any time you want to? Wow! What is a bucket bath do you have to get your own water? That would stink because over here we just turn on the sink and we have water. Sophie
Your trip to the volcano kind of sounds like my last summer; I took a road trip all the way to Michigan where my relatives live, we passed through all the tourist attractions. We went through Yellowstone National Park and saw Old Faithfull the geyser and a bunch of others. I saw the clearest water in the little pools. I think it’s because it was so hot it got rid of all the mud and everything. I also saw boiling bubbly natural clay pits and the sulfur smelled like rotten deviled eggs. Did the volcano smell like rotten eggs too? Jacob

I love to go in the rain forest when all the animals are out because I love the sound of the rain forest. It sounds so beautiful, have you ever heard the rain forest? I bet it sounds cool. I have never seen a vine before have you? Well if you have that is pretty cool to me. Have you ever seen a real monkey before? It probably has been a long time since I’ve seen one. Well it has been nice to talk to you. Love always, Lizzy
I want to see a volcano so bad!!!!!!!!! When you saw the volcano was it hot at the top of it? Did make any noise or sounds? What is it like their so I hear it is hot? What kind of food is their? It must be really cool their… Has the volcano ever erupted when you where there? If I did was it really hot and fast or slow? Ryan Blake

When you are done with training it’s my b-day. Ok fine it’s not my b-day but its close. Ok fine not that close its November the 19. I’m going to be ten by the way my name is Twyla. It’s pronounced like the beginning of twilight the beginning of my name sounds like Twy and ends with a la like lalalalalala but only one la. Any why let me get to the point I’m going to be 11 on November the 19 and I’m exited. So how was your roommate? Was it a girl or a boy? And what are you doing for Halloween? I’m working at a haunted house, I’m one of the monsters, I’m in the cage. It was not scary. What your favorite color mine is lime green, purple, and yellow. Sincerely Twyla
