Sabana Grande

Sorry that it has been a while since my last update.

We spent one night in Granada last weekend since the Sabana Grande people were going there. While there, we went around to some of the various old churches, and were able to go up to the bell towers of some of them for a great view of the city.

However the most interesting part was the zipline tour through mombacho volcano. Mombacho is a dormant volcano that has been overgrown with rainforest, and the tour was amazing. Eveything was very safe, and we got some great views of the forest. There were a total of 8 lines with the longest being 100 meters in length.

More currently, Tim and I are spending time in Sabana Grande this week as there was little work for us at Suni, and the volunteers at Sabana were having trouble getting everything done. So far we´ve worked on repairing a wind turbine, (Almost done, we got it to produce charge, but we still need to remount it) and developed a way to recycle paper to make labels for the solar cooked coffee that the women sell. Assuming we have time, we are going to attempt to build a vertical axis wind turbine since we have all of the parts that we need.
