I´m here!

Hola todos!

I don´t have a ton of time, so this is going to be kind of quick. I promise more soon!

Oh boy do I miss you all. Soo... I am in Honduras now. So weird. I am discovering that I suck at spanish. No one speaks English here, not even a single word.I am hoping upon hope that this will improve. I can read it fine, and understand my housemates fine, and get around, ask directions, etc, fine, but its really hard when pèople are talking to me, which who´d have thunk, happens a lot. My housemates are cool, there are only 3 of us in a pretty big house. Once again, I got the big room in the room draw. haha nice! But we all have our own bathroom, so I mean, pretty nice digs considering i´m in a third world country. Its all pretty disorganized and I still dont know what i am teaching but I am learning that this is to be expected i suppose. Just trying to go with the flow. We went and visited the school today which was good. We are going back tomorrow so maybe i will get more info then. When I got to the airport I couldnt find my people and I was almost freaking out, almost going to cry. But I pulled myself together and asked a nice man if i could use his cell phone. Actually I think mine would have worked, but the ring sounds weird here, haha, so i wasnt sure it was working. The people were there they just werent allowed to stand where they thought they could or something. I am feeling okay about everything, I know it will all improve. The city is really cool looking...cobblestone streets and pastel colored buildings, and three feet high sidewalks! I am just thankful to have the company of my english teachers...even though I know its not good to speak engish with them, because i wont improve mine any, its just nice to have that security right now. We are supposed to get internet tomorrow at our house. That was an interesting process...trying to negotiate that in Spanish. I really miss everyone but it is only when i think about it, otherwise, I´m busy exploring and adventuring trying to figure out what the heck is going on most of the time. I love you all and miss you lots. Hopefully we can skype soon because I´d love to hear your guys´ voices and see your lovely faces and be able to say totes and obvi and whatev and have you understand me...hehe.

Love and miss,

Sarah

P.S. I have one enemy in honduras already. A rooster. I have one as a neighbor and it crowed and crowed and crowed ALL NIGHT AND MORNING.

"Coke y ron"

That phrase should get you by for a couple weeks at least.

What's Coke y ron? You're the greatest. And tell that rooster he could be dinner.
