Week 2 down

So I just typed a post but of course it got erased since the internet is not very good here. Things are going well. We are learning Spanish poco a poco. We leave tomorrow for our volunteer visit. We are going to visit a married couple who are doing the same projects as us so that will be exciting. This week was busy...Kevin visited a farm and learned how to make soy foods and got to pick his own mango! Shannon visited a school and was able to watch a competition between four schools consisting of math, poetry, singing, dancing, writing, etc. It was very interesting. She also visited a school and watched a group of Peace Corps Health Volunteers give a presentation geared towards 10-14 year old girls on sexual education...also very interesting. The teachers are striking right now (which happens quite often for public schools, it is a huge problem) so there were not very many children there. The weather is interesting, it changes at least five times a day. It rains a lot and there is a lot of mud but we like it overall. We have been able to meet some of the current volunteers who are serving in Honduras and it is really nice to hear their stories and advice. For Elizabeth's family members, she is doing fabulously and has managed to avoid the hospital this week! Week two down!

Wow! It sounds like you have had such an amazing experience already... and it has only been two weeks. My going away party is this weekend and it is going to be missing two very important people - you guys! I am so excited to hear all of your future adventures. Keep having fun and learn that Spanish so you don't get sent home ; )
