The Tales and Adventures of Lauryn and Kristina

dear tampa,
once upon a time in nicaragua kristina and lauryn journied to a far away school composed primarily of pre-schoolers. Not so good in the spanish department, Kristina and lauryn were nervous about splitting up from the other group members, but when faced with the challenge they stepped up to the plate. The classroom was small, but the kid's hearts were BIG. no matter the language barrier they were able to play and laugh with them all. Saying goodbye was the hardest obstacle for sure, but their work wasn't over. Not too far away kristina and lauryn continued to serve teachers sandwiches and play a swell game of ring around the rosy. Although the kids didnt quite understand the words they smiled along.
Little did they know the day had just begun...


to be continued!!
