Bienvenidos a Honduras!

I'm alive!!! and in Honduras!! Central America!! haha!! Ok....well I had 2 days training in D.C. Meeting the other 49 other Peace Corps Volunteers someone should have just handed me the troffie (sp?) or pedistool for being, hands down, the coolest person there.....of course I was judging them without having spoken to them--only by the way they dressed. After letting them talk to me I found out that they all are actually way cooler than I am. They all have already done so much. i.e. worked in a hospital in Ecuador or participated in exoctic Shamen rituals.......yadayadyayada.

We arrived in Honduras 2 days ago!! I know I've said this a million times but I am honestly afraid to blink because I know I'll miss something. It is BEAUTIFUL. BREATHTAKING. Nothing but hills and mountains. Everything is greeen and mossy and HOT. I just walk around giggling because I can't believe where I am....I'm probably known as the town skitzo (sp?). I'm also a little bipolar. Every so often it hits me that I'm going to be here for the next 2 years 2 months and 27 days of my life and I start twitching. One kid at training in D.C. wanted to use the money they gave us for food ($140!!! for 3 meals) and buy a plane ticket home....hes still here.........I like playing the game "Who's gonna drop out first?"

Oh it turns out I'm in Santa Lucia, which is a small town actually 12 km up the mountain from Tegucigalpa. I'm staying with the nicest host family ever (not counting spain of course)!!!! I have a host mama, dad, and 2 sisters 15 and 17. The house is like a li'l square motel. Theres an opening in the middle and then each room separates from that. i.e. I enter a door for the kitchen......then go back outside to go to the living room......and my room........and the bathroom is just outside. So exciting! So much to say my fingers can't type it!

-The coffee!!! AMAZING! Liquid coke! twitch twitch
-My spanish.....like a small downsindrome (sp?) child........but I'm waaaaaaaaay better off than some suckas and than I was in Spain.
-Food-so far so good! Recognize everything, like everyhting.
-Hills fantabulous! I'm going to have the best butt ever!
-Christmas in February!! They gave us so many goodies it was like christmas! I got a mosquito net, malaria pills (I'll tell you about my hallucinations later), 6 shots, sunscreen, vitamins, and lotion!!! My host mom calls my mosquito net my casita (little house).
-El bathroom. I guess youre not suppsoed to put your TP in the toilet because the pipes aren't that great and they'll get clogged.....so far every time, minus 2 extraordinary occasions, I have managed to throw the TP in the toilet and then proceeded to go fishing...

Hip Hip!!
