We recently acquired a Nicaraguan "daughter", an international student at Reedley College who will be living with us for nine months! We decided to convert our Peace Corps blog into a blog about our experience with her. Read about our adventures, mishaps, and other funny things that happen throughout this experience.

Life in Honduras
We finally had time to go somewhere to use the internet after our Saturday Cultural lesson. i typed up a couple entrys to copy and paste but these computers are really slow so i am wasting time to see if it reads the thumb drive. apparently it does not work. We have a fabulous host family, with a really nice house. No hot water, but I have gotten used to taking bucket baths and kev takes cold showers. Our host mom is a spanish teacher so she is really great at teaching us. We have classes everyday from 7:30 to 4:30 and half days on Saturdays. Today we learned about the indigineous cultures in Honduras which was really interesting. Spanish learning is going well...it´s really exhausting speaking another language all day long and we usually go to bed around 9:30 at the latest. We did laundry by hand for the first time and it was quite an experience...very time consuming. We both got cell phones...ask our family members for the numbers as we do not want to post them on the internet. It is free for us to receive calls and texts so call us lots! You can also send us free texts on this website www.tigo.com.hn but it´s probably in Spanish. Anyway, we are short on time so this will be short too. Hopefully we will get access to the internet soon....being here has already shown me how many things we take for granted at home that many places in the world do not have access too. This is going to be a great learning experience!

Your face is a learning experience.
I miss you friends - glad to hear things are going well on Taco Island.
That's where you are. You can tell who the liars are by figuring out who disagrees with that statement.
You're welcome.
