What a crazy week! We had a fair in our town in honor of some great saint. So much fantastic stuff happened. First I met the only gay Honduran, and he has AIDS! Isn´t that great?! Then I watched people hang a duck from a rope and ride past it on horses until one of them ripped its head of! (It still flapped its wings, without its head). Next they entered the gringa in some contest where men try to shove a pen through a ring, haning from the same rope as the poor dead duck. There were several rings hanging, each with a different name on it...including my own. Whose ever ring the men slip their pen through win a kiss on the cheek from the lady and ride the princess through town . Of course my ring was goosed with in seconds. I had to take a death trip around a town paved with stones on a horse stirred by a crazy man. I peed my pants a little bit.

Next, I whittnessed (sp?) a cock fight and danced with a tall wooden woman through the streets. Todays a greased pig catch and a pole climbing contest!
