gringo fest 2006
i have never seen so many white people in all my life! i guess now that summer has started the churchie gringos have decided to spread the word of our lord and savior jesus h. holy christ. there was a group at the church the other day giving away toys and candy...i felt like one of the li´l brown third world kids...they gave me oreos and i hid them in my shirt as i scurried away. i dont even want to talk about how many i´ve eaten already this morning....
the other group of gringos have been here for a week building a new water system. i went to help pick them up from the airport and when we arrived back in concepcion everyone had made signs, lit off fire crackers, and surrounded the car welcoming them....maaaaaaaan it was emotional. then their house was all decorated with balloons and music was blaring. my li´l hondurans were so sweeet and excited! i got tears in my eyes! the next day when we went to start digging to put in the pipes, people from the town that the gringos helped the year before all showed up and were digging. it was amazing. they said never before has another town helped out another one in such a way. gaaaaaaaaaawd break my heart.
i´ve been crazy busy working with this odessey of the mind thing every afternoon until night...theyre excited about going to tegus. we´re going to have a mini competition-practice against the parents of the town.
the highschoolers put on a play the other day...the title of it was ¨¨sueños mojados¨¨ which is translated to ¨¨wet dreams¨¨ baaaaaaaaahahaha! a few of them made up a dance routine to perform afterwards and they got me to dance with them...man oh man its the talk of the town. they got it on video and they like zooming in on my butt and putting it in slow motion. hilaaaaaaaarious.
mommy dearest in 160 something days i would like chocolate oatmeal cookies, grammies mac and cheese, spinach, and the li´l balls of health.
leaving for chile in like 12 days!!!!!!!!
mom i´m sending something home with the gringos tomorrow for you. you´ll LOVE it...i couldn´t sleep last night because i was so excited. :) hehe
bubye i´m going swimming in the river then we´re having a goodbye party for the gringos!
p.s. big gossip of the week: there was a WOMAN hanging out at the bar the other night...very scandoulous.
p.p.s. i´m going to see jose (my honduran friend from college) this weekend!! my first li´l piece of home here in honduras! :)
