The week of testing is over thank goodness!!! I'm definitely ready to stop grading tests, it took so long, especially on the last day of grading them. Today was a half day, so things in school were pretty chill, and the students were allowed to dress in normal clothes if they paid 5 lempiras (25 cents), so everyone dressed in their normal clothes of course. I got to chat with a couple of my students today, whcih was pretty cool, made a little visit with the doctor for some minor difficulties I've been having, and then played some chess with one of my students the last 20 minutes of class. Oh, and I bribed a class into giving me some pizza, even though they bought it themselves, it was pretty cool.
We went down McDonalds for the first time and I sunk my teeth into a nice Big Mac, just like home. Then we went to Centro, downtown after that, I did a little bit of exploring into different stores, had a little pastry, and then we went to the enourmous outdoor food market, the biggest by far that I've ever seen, it's in the parking lot of the national stadium. And the whole parking lot is entirely filled with tons and tons of vendors mostly selling fruits/vegetables/cheeses,eggs, and any other non-canned food you can think of. I got some food, and some of the biggest and best grapefruits you've ever seen and then we went home, and watched the sound of music.
I'm going to post a picture of the only picture I have of downtown, I'm hoping to get more in the future.
