Canopy tour

So I've done a horrible job at keeping you all up to date on my travels.  But here's one with some pictures I thought you'd enjoy.

The annual regional TechnoServe meeting for Latin America was held in Granada, Nicaragua this year, just 30 minutes outside of Managua.  And while I didn't attend, I did get to meet a good number of some very senior members of TechnoServe, including the regional director (a former Bainie like me), the Development Division team, another TNS advisor whose unpublished book I'm currently reading (how cool!) and the former Nicaragua country director named Julie- which is why everyone in the office knows how to pronounce my name.

Susan Bornstein, the Senior Director of Program Development who is basically known as the TNS rainmaker with a million contacts at USAID and other large NGOs, stuck around for the weekend after the conference.  My colleague Gabriel took her around a bit on Saturday and I tagged along, keen to get to know this TNS icon and see more of Nicaragua of course.

We decided to take on the canopy tour at the base of Volcan Mombacho, which was not nearly as great as the one I did in Costa Rica, but made for some very fun, slightly awkward pics.
