mi familia

This is my mama and papa in honduras. and the cake that they got me for my birthday!

Pictures!!


So, I'm at Dunkin Donuts in Teguc right now using the wireless internet (it's pretty slow) but i thought i should put up some pictures, so i'm working on it, but i dont know how many i'll get on before my battery dies, but here they are! So, i dont know how often i'll write on my blog, but the group has one at teguc.blogspot.com, which will hopefully be updated more frequently, so prolly check that one!! Also, I'm not very good with technology, so sorry about the mistakes. And the pictures loaded backwards kinda, so maybe start at the bottom and work your way up.





our hotel/resturant at amapala

this past weekend most of the students went to amapala, a 3ish hour bus/boat ride from teguc. We mostly just sat on the beach, it was beautiful weather!! We tried to climb the mountain/hill on the island, but we got lost, so didn't.



the hotel owner's battle with the tarantula in our hotel room (right after he killed it we battled a cockroach too!)

the first weekend in teguc, we went to la tigra, a national park a couple hours from teguc, to get to know eachother. we hiked for a while to see a cool waterfall.
