Settling in at our site

Its been a little while since we have written so we figured we would write today. Today is our anniversary. We are both working today during the day. Kevin has a meeting with La Flor de Cafe, a community in the National Park, and with his counterparts from the university. Tonight we are going to go eat somewhere and maybe find some cheesecake or something. The choices of restaurants are limited and with Shannons pickiness it is hard to find somewhere to go. Things are going well here in Catacamas. This past weekend was the annual fair here and we saw the president of Honduras up close and personal as he is from Catacamas. We tried to shake his hand but he was on the other side of the street, so we missed out on that. A bunch of other volunteers from nearby came to town and so did a bunch of US teachers that are teaching at a private school in Juticalpa, a half hour a way. So, for a while there was a huge mob of gringos walking around town. We ate some food, watched some of the parade and then had ice cream. It was good. It has been hot and humid, of course, and raining more than usual but October is the wettest month of the year here. Our Spanish is slowly improving. Shannon understands most stuff while Kevin still struggles now and then. At least a lot of people at the university speak some English, that wont help him learn Spanish but it does help him communicate. Adios, for now.
