Last weekend

Sorry for not updating more, I’ve been getting a little lazy in blog-world. Last weekend I went downtown and picked up a few caribeeners for my new hammock that’s made out of mesh (very comfortable), we have it hanging on our balcony right now. We also went to the national stadium, in the morning on the weekends there is a huge market there and tons of people are selling every single fruit/vegetable grown in Honduras. On Sunday I went to Valle de Angeles, which is a huge tourist place, they sell a lot of souveniers and hand made stuff. A lot of it is pretty high in price though because so many tourists go there. I bought just a few little things there. We also ate there, they were having their annual fair, a couple musicians were there and a ton of different vendors. We at some amazing pupusas, pastelitos and tamales. I’ll explain those later if you want to really know. And we went to an English church service for the first time here. I’ve gone 2 weeks in a row now, the first time was interesting, the people were so friendly there but the preaching was a bit less than I had hoped for. However I came back the next weekend and it was much better, a missionary from Haiti preached on Hebrews 12, God’s Discipline, and a couple of my friends and I signed up to go to a picnic up on the school property of Academia los Pinares, which is the big-time, amazing teacher school. That’s this Saturday so I’m looking forward to meeting new people up there. We also got invited to go play volleyball every Thursday night by a Honduran name Aben. He seemed like a pretty cool guy, so I’m looking forward to getting to know him more.

This week was final exams of the quarter, the students have a whole week at the end of the quarter in which they have a cumulative test of what they have learned throughout the quarter. Mon-Thursday this week that’s all we’ve been doing and since I teach 14 different class, I have to grade 14 different sets of exams, which makes for a busy week for myself. But I do have a break from teaching for a little while, which is nice.

I Think we might be going down south for thanksgiving, which should be pretty fun, down to Choluteca, apparently the beaches down there have black sand.
