We are FINALLY volunteers!

So we had our swearing in ceremony Friday and are oficially volunteers! We had the ceremony at the U.S. Embassy and then went to the Ambassador´s house where we were able to use the pool and play volleyball/basketball, and just hang out. It was a great day and it felt good to finally be volunteers and to be done with training. It felt a little like graduating from high school and going off to college (I will try to post pictures soon). We are now in Catacamas and it is miserably hot and humid...much like Austin in the summer only without air conditioning and our fan broke. Hopefully we will get used to this weather soon. We met the other two volunteers in our site yesterday and they seem really nice. It was good to hear about Catacamas from their points of view. They also told us about a nice house where other volunteers have lived that the landlady wants to rent to us. Hopefully we can go check it out soon. We have not done much in the way of work yet but we are going with one of the other volunteers tomorrow to help teach English since Shannon will be taking over that class soon. Right now we are just enjoying our new found freedom and learning about Catacamas and everything in the city. It was sad saying goodbye to everyone and knowing that we will not be able to see them for at least three months as we are not allowed to travel until then. I´m sure that three months will fly by as these past two and a half have! Kevin bought an Abercrombie polo shirt yesterday at the market for 25 lempiras which is about 1.30 USD. That is pretty awesome. They do not have shoes his size here though so that is not good.
