Week Four


As I start my fourth week in Honduras, not a whole lot has changed.  I am still in training Monday thru Saturday, still spend time with host family and I am continuing to learn more and more with each passing day.

On Friday, I went with a small group of fellow trainees into Teguz to visit a market.  It was an exercise for our Spanish classes to practice using public transportation and shopping.  The trip was more or less uneventful.  The best part was that we were able to go to a grocery store in the city and I splurged on a jar of peanut butter! It was definitely worth it!

On Saturday we took another trip into Teguz to go to Immigration. We had to register for Honduran residency and have identification cards.  After more than four (very boring) hours and a crashed computer system later, all 53 of us had finally finished the process. After immigration the group headed to Pizza Hut for lunch.  It was nice to have some pizza after a few weeks of beans and tortillas every day! 

We only have a few more days left here before I head of to field based training.  I am nervous to leave since I really enjoy my current host family (and the hot water heater) that I have now.  In FBT the pace of things is going to pick up even more and we will start to phase out our sessions in English and move to all Spanish. 

I am not sure about the Internet situation during FBT so I am not sure about how often I will be able to update (not that I have updated much during my first few weeks).
