Hola...
I´m up and feeling much better... Everyone on the team is coming down with something though... Tomorrow is our last day of work this week. Friday morning we leave for copan to see the Mayan ruins... i´m super excited!!!!
On the left is a picture of Antonio and I. He´s a kid from the Orpahange and so funny! He loves playing with trucks and he can be kind of a trouble maker. But he loves cameras and stole mine for the first day and took about 100 pointless pictures that I had to go through and delete.... gesh!
Last night was quite a night. We decided we needed some American food so a few of us got stuff to make smores. we built a little fire by the house and the kids went WILD... never giving them sugar at 9 PM... and that is very late here. I´ve been going to bed around like 8 to 830 everynight just because the day ends so early... All of the kids were running around like crazy... and more crazy than usual. Alan (on the left with the marshmellow stick) has not left my side and we´ve concluded that this little ten year old Honduran has a crush on me... oh dear...
Tonight we´re going to watch the soccer game between El Salvador and Honduras. It should be super intenese. El Salvador is Honduras´ biggest rivals and Latins are SO intense about their soccer...
So far everything is going well... things are a bit slow around here, and I think i´m in a bit of culture shock because after work the days are so incredibly slow... But I´m slowly finding new ways to keep me busy. Only thing that has gone really wrong are all the beatles in our room. We´ve had a few freak outs. Luckily one of my roommates Valery has brought enough bug spray and bug killing substances to kill about half of the bugs in Honduras.
Oh by the way I live with four other volunteers. There is Sloan and Jordan who are from Virgina and leaving on Tuesday. And in my room there is Valery from Kansas and Clare from England. We like to make fun of her accent...
Anyways, pray that I can make it through next week, we´re all just wanting it to be next week so we reach our half way point and so we can all get better...
PEACE!
So when you say ALL the Beatles, do you mean just Paul and Ringo, or are the ghosts of John and George there as well?
