OK, it's a few days later. I am going to a huge party today for the Honduras versus Trinidad and Tobago soccer game, so I have to keep this short.
Last night I went to a party that was thrown by a couple of the mamas of people in my group. It was so much fun! Once I steal the pics from Becky, I will post a few. I learned how to dance the Punta and Merengue. So much fun, but dancing when it is still over 90F is really hot. I can´t even explain how much fun it was.
Things are progessing here. I get soup a lot although I don´t understand a hot bowl of soup on a hot day. There was some other food related story that I wanted to mention, but I can´t think of it right now.
Hmm, so the hammock is a beautiful thing. Swinging on one on a really hot day is quite the luxuy, because my hammock is in a cooler place that gets a breeze.
A little more on my family here.
My host Mom is Dilma. She is a very sweet, very energetic person. She is a teacher here. My host Dad is an administrator for the police in Teguc. I don´t know my oldest host sisters well. I only saw them for a few hours. I will get to know them better during Semana Santa though. My host sister who lives here is really nice and has a lot of patience with me. Her name is Paola. Today we went shopping together in town because I wanted to buy a skirt. I had read some blogs from volunteers that said that skirts were a bad idea because of unwanted attention. Well, thick jeans at 110F is a bad idea too. My host brother Jorgito (Jorge Junior) is nice. He was kind of timid at first, but once i got that kid talking about soccer, it was all good. He probably has the most patience with my Spanish and speaks the clearest in the family, so i like when he is around.
Um, I think that is all I have to say now. A lot of things are kind of becoming normal, so there may be more that you´d be interested in, but to me they are normal now. Also, please keep in contact. I feel like I write a lot about my life and don´t know how any of you are doing. If you have to, send me an email. I think I can get once a week online time without a problem. Letters take three weeks or more to get here, so if you have already sent letters, I just haven´t received them yet. Monday is mail day though!
No pics today, sorry.
Love you always
Jill
