"Our two souls therefore, which are one,

Though I must go, endure not yet

A breach, but an expansion,

Like gold to airy thinness beat."

NICARAGUA AND HONDURAS - UPDATE 2

Team Tortuga have arrived safely at Project Bona Fide on the Island of Ometepe. They have settled into their homestays and are getting used to a completely different way of life. They have spent the day learning about permaculture and the work of the project, including tasting all of the exotic fruits grown on the farm. They have also been working in a local community project and are helping to build a sowing cooperative for local women. This evening they are planning to cool off after a hard day's work on the beach.
