Good ( and incredible) news

The guy who pinched my mochilla and Iphone out of my bicycle basket, is in the Malpaisillo jail !!!!!  His lawyer paid me a visit today to ask what I would need to drop the charges.  Turns out he is in jail for crimes "mas grave" than mine so I told her I wanted my phone, mediation and for him to be court ordered to return to high school. He's only 16.  If he's convicted and sentenced to jail for  whatever he is charged with he could go to jail for 4-5 years.  I don't think I would wish Nicaraguan prison on anyone.....unless his other crimes were really heinous.  Anyway, the mediation is scheduled for next Friday and I guess that is when I'll learn whether I will get my phone back.

I am just astounded.  I thought it was all over...done deal.

I forgot this....

We both worked as volunteer mediators at Neighborhood Dispute Settlement in Harrisburg...tho at different times.  We know a lot of the same people in the legal/mediation communities in and around Harrisburg. 

Incredible

Small world

I was invited to join another volunteer yesterday for lunch as she wanted to introduce me to another volunteer from her group who is in the "older" category.  Well, get this.   The other volunteer, Carol, is exactly my age, she practiced law for 25 years in Carlisle, PA, graduated from DU law school ( night division) one year after I did ( 84 and 83) and ...of course...is here as a PC volunteer in Nicaragua.

Now, that's a  pretty good coincidence !!!!!
