Pig Intestines!!! Yum!
I have officially eaten pig intestines....I guess its a typical soup here called Mondongo......I was imagining that I was on Fear Factor and shoveled the spongy pig juice down my pie hole. At first I had no idea what it was....my host mom just said it was pig....and then I asked why it was all spungy and tuby....then the adventure began.
I´m having a blaaaaaaaaast. But first I want to say small freakin world! My friend, Joli, and I got a ride with a guy to Teguc (where I am now) and he has family living in Amherst and Boston!!! I almost flipped my lid. Spanish and english wanted to come out at the exact same time and I think I just pooed my pants.
Oh focus...mmm I have been having 5 hours of spanish a day (intermediate) and 4 hours of health-aids-youth development. But right now I´m skipping health to use the internet :)
OOoooo we play a lot of ultimate frisbee on this field surrounded by mountain s(put a photo up) amaaaaaaaaaaazing! When I first went there I almost P`ed the sun was setting and clouds and greenery.aaaaaaaaaamazing.
Some of us went to La Tigra last weekend, a cloud forest. BEAUTFIUL. It felt like we were in Alicen Wonderland, The Princess Bride, and the Labrinth all at once. I couldnt freaking beleive it.......unfortunatly those photos arent up yet. I hiked so much I woke up with but pains in the middle of the night. On our way home the bus didnt show up and we had to cram 25 of us in the back of some random guys truck. The sun was shining and everything was beautiful. I felt like I was in Titanic...until we began to roll backwards down a hilll because of all our fattness and my friend fell out. I almost had a heart attack, I thought she was run over. But alas everything is alllllllright.
I guess they call HOnduras the ¨Club Med¨of Peace Corps becuase we´re way better off than all those chumps in Africa.
OOOooo some juice. Everyones getting the squirts execpt mee.....good thing I was eating all those tacos for breakfast before I came....because that moment on my lips is still on my hips. :) 2 people have dropped out already....one of them was my pretty good friend (after 14 days) and I had no clue she was thinking of going home (p.s. michael and sara it was katie!) and then POOF one day she was gone...no goodbyes...no nada....que triste...
I have li´l baby chickens and roosters that walk around my house.......hilarious.....I woke up to about 5 rooster crows (sp?) this morning. My honduran aunt owns the resurant next door and she had a birthday and mariachy (sp?) guys came and played and we all drank and danced. Funfun.
I put pictures up. Go look at ém!!

Hi Ry!
I am glad someone changed the settings on your blog because I originally had a real funny comment to post and then it would not let me post it and it really ticked me off! I need your address from your momma because I have been collecting books for you and I want to send them to you. I didn't know what you liked to read so I picked out a variety. How is life in Hondoras? Life in Ohio is ok. Can't complain! Umm I saw the picture of you "hitching" a ride.....NOT SAFE!!!!!!!!!! I have your blog bookmarked at home and at work so I can keep up with you. Teach me some spanish ok! I will try and save money up to come see you, maybe your momma and I can plan a trip...it might take a while though since currently the library doesn't pay too much! Well have a great time and I miss you and love you! BECAREFUL!!!
LOVE JAMIE ROSA LYNN

Hi my little darling,
Haven't I always said you should write a book!! Remember when you were little you always wanted to work for National Geographic? This could be your chance. Send them something. Please update more often! Lots of people here are missing you!! Maybe if you can't come home for Christmas, Jamie and I can visit over break? If you do come home, maybe we can come next year over Spring Break. Love you baby. xoxoxoxo Mom
