The bridge


As we finally kicked off our pre-kinder (to finish this school year before starting next February with kinder, 1st grade, and 2nd grades), we realized that kids coming from the local barrio had to cross a creek that can be somewhat formidable when it rains hard. With Nicaraguan ingenuity, two trees close to the spot were cut down, then moved together, and then we nailed planks left over from the wood that was cut for the school ceilings. Pretty good engineering for a days work. The pics give a quick history, and if you want to see a partial video, link to tree cutting.
