First week

First week in Honduras has been crazy.

Tuesday -- Flying all day; went through El Salvador and first spanish lesson
Wednesday -- Free day at home stay residences. Apparently there was a "National Food Strike Day" and all government owned buildings/businesses were shut down.
Thursday -- Tour of UNAH (University of Honduras) where 80,000 students attend. No joke. We also toured Tegucigalpa and saw the main Basilica of Honduras.
Friday -- Traveled to La Ceiba. We got to hike in a rainforest and swim in a waterfall/pool.

Meals have been awesome!; but crazy. Plantains, mangos, bananas are very sweet fruits here and are much better than the US. Fish include Tilapia and Barracuda, which is now my favorite fish.

We went shopping today and I got to lead Anne and Katie around as the translator in the shops. I'm thinking about sending a gift home? We'll see about the packaging. Here's a picture of me on the hotel porch where I'll be writing to you and another on the dock by the ocean :)
