May Day

May 1st was a holiday in Nicaragua--International Workers' Day or Labour Day (a commemoration of the Haymarket martyrs who were arrested after the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago).

Fred Wall is a retired MEDA board member who volunteers a lot of his time helping MiCredito. He was in Nicaragua the first week in May and asked if I wanted to go to San Juan Del Sur on the holiday Tuesday. Serge LeVert-Chiasson, who is working for MiCredito for 3 months, joined us as well. We had a motorboat take us to a secluded beach and on the way to and from the beach we were entertained by dolphins! It was great...but very difficult to capture a good jump. Thank goodness for digital cameras.
