Ok so this was going to be my big post with pictures and razzle dazzle, but alas I am paying by the minute for the internet and do not have the patience to wait for any pictures to upload. However you can go to my friend¨s blog http://www.sarahlagringa.com/ to look some pictures of my adventures, she was a photo-journalist and is more on top of taking and uploading pictures.
So, for the past month I was living in Zarabanda with a host family I adored. But, this past Sunday I moved with the Health Project to another city... La Paz. Before leaving Zarabanda I asked Rosa, my first host mom, what I should expect in the new city. All she could tell me was "La Paz is extremely hot" and she was definately right.
La Paz is in a valley up in the moutains near Comagua (I am making assumptions that you are all masters of Honduran geography by now). It is beautiful and sunny all of the time. I also lucked out by having another amazing host family. This family is much bigger- dad Pako, mom Digna, sister Idis, Brother Pakito, Brother Luis and niece Angie (who is 4 and amazing). My room here is also an improvement because I have screens on my windows and walls that reach the celling. It was so dark and quiet my first night here I couldn"t fall asleep! There are no roosters to wake me up in the middle of the night. But now I am sleeping like a champ despite the opressive heat in my house. Also, because of the heat the water in the tank is asways warm so I have warm showers everyday... amazing.
I have enjoyed my first week here but I also miss the other trainee"s in my training class. The business project is out in Ohohona and Water-Sanitation is in El Paraiso, and we will not meet up again until the second week of May.
Ok more soon I promise!
