the kids are practicing for quince de septiembre, which is honduras´liberation day. it´s also the liberation day for guatemala, nicaragua, costa rica, and el salvador. (the reason why all 5 countries have 5 stars).

our friend jesus

my friend lena at the peace march.

i don´t know how this happened, but i like it. during our ¨bohemian night¨ a the mayor´s (alcalde) house. his house was unbelievable, and we didn´t even go inside. just huge, with all kinds of animals and an outside bar and a trampoline and even a monkey chained to a tree. yeah that part was really sad, but it was a cool looking monkey.
i got to be in a play and my roles were the waitress and one of the bolos (drunk men) trying to hit on the girls while they were eating. i miss you all, by the way. i´d love to hear from you, and i´d love to get mail, but it does take a while.

oh yeah my ipod died which was really said. it´s just not even turning on anymore. it started with the dying really fast thing. it still looks like new cause of the case so if anyone has any ideas that´d be awesome. also if anyone feels like sending me some bath and body works you know it´d be cool. :) or a new ipod, claro que si. you know you can´t make it through the peace corps without one. whatever happened to the whole them just dropping you off in the middle of nowhere anyway? who needs an ipod...

though i do miss it. especially at 3:45 in the morning when i wake up with the gallos. i´m getting more and more used to it, though.

we have only one more week here and we´ll be doing our site visits. i have to say i´m nervous and i thought i´d be practically fluent by now, but i have been studying the subjunctive, imperfect subjunctive, and other compound tenses which is about as hard as the verbage goes. for some reason when folks are talking fast i still can´t hear them.

i had some money stolen which sucks.

also my family here was the only one that didn´t go to the cultural day we just had.

but anyway, enough feeling bad! we´ve wrapped up our school visits today and for the next week we´ll be doing HIV and AIDS education and charlas.

i´m going to try and put more pictures on here now.

also if you´re wondering about transportation here in honduras, there´s a great article here. this is a bit dated and concerns other parts of central america as well, but it´s a very true (so very funny) piece.

anyway, the other pictures aren´t working and the luz (light, but they call electricity ´light´here) has been going out for at least 2 hours a day, so instead of waiting for that to happen (it´s raining), i´m gonna sign off. thanks for reading this :)
i miss you:)
