I MADE IT

Hello all!
I made it to Honduras! I appologize this will be a short post because there is a long line of trainee´s trying to use the internet after me. We arrive in Zarabanda, just outside of Tegucigulpa, on Wednesday after a LONG day. I woke up at about 4 am, boarded our flight at 10am, had a very bumpy and scary landing, met our families and moved in to our new houses at about 4pm. Since then we have had class everyday, packed lunches and all! So far the most difficult thing to deal with is the ice cold showers I take in the morning.

The food is amazing and my ¨mom¨Rosa Maria understands that I cannot eat too much if I want to feel well later. I also have an 11 year old sister, Eva, who is very smart and helps me constantly with vocab, and a kind father named Cristo.

I will make sure to type more when there isn´t a line.
(Also sorry if there are typo´s I am getting used to the new keyboard down here)

a little more excitement

Because I didn't that going to Honduras for the next two years was exciting enough, I thought that I would go to New Zealand a week before I leave for the Peace Corps! No it was actually for my Aunt's wedding and a great way to see all of my family who live in the UK.

 So in the month leading up to departing for Hondu I drove for 28 hours back to Colorado, moved all of my earthly possessions  back to my parents house, and went to Christchurch for 7 days for my aunts wedding. So now I have 3 days left to finish my MASSIVE to do/ packing list.  However, I would not change any of it! I fell in love with NZ.

 The trip was one of the most amazing I have ever been on and the most beautiful country I have ever seen. It is summer down there right now, so the weather was perfect and there was so much to do outside. I went jet skiing, on trail runs, walks on the beach, and obviously celebrated my Aunt's wedding. Had I been in Colorado for the whole month of February I would be more anxious than I am already. I plan to get back to NZ as soon as I can... which will be in about three years.

Since I have about a million things on my plate I think the nest post from me will come from Hondu. Hold onto your hats everybody!
