La Segunda Dia

Hola todos,
It´s my second day in the country, and wow! Honduras is a million times more beautiful than I imagined. I´m in a dry mountain pine forest, not too hot, not too cold. My homestay family grows mangos, papayas, y un melon deliciosa! I tried to help making tortillas today, but mine came out with distinct finger prints. My homestay mom managed to fix most of them before we ate them for dinner. La comida...way better than I was lead to believe. I haven´t had so many home cooked meals since I left for college the first time. Que rico! Y el cafe...muy muy bien tambien. Entonces, everything pretty much rocks at the moment. I know...the typical Peace Corps depression is probably coming, but I am totally content to be happy for the moment.
Adios por el momento.

Oh, one last note, I woke up this morning to a donkey, a rooster, and several frogs all yelling wildly together. At 4 am.

Eight hours of staging events without food or sleep. Luckily, the Peace Corps gave us $120 to cover our "expenses." Pretty sure I didn't spend that much today, but thanks Peace Corps

Ha! One hour to spare before the flight. Everything fits in one little duffle bag! Unfortunately the duffle bag ripped apart when I tried to close it. Good thing I bought that little sewing kit!

Hello!

In three days I'll be leaving for Honduras. This blog is set up for friends, family, or anyone else interested in following my adventures in the Peace Corps. I'll be posting pictures and stories whenever I have internet access.

In the mean time, I'm frantically trying to pack and compile relevant research material.

My packing list thus far:
Two pairs of pants
Three shirts
One backpack

I might need to work on that. Instead I'm going rock climbing!
