Day 2...Lots of shopping

Day 2 went well, we spent most of the day in and out of stores. We shopped for the few little things that we didn't bring to Honduras. I made sure to buy an iron and an ironing board, my grandmother does not approve of wrinkle clothes.

We found the food court in the mall and was surprised by the American fast food restaurants, such as, Popeyes, Wendy's, Burger King, Baskin Robbins (not food), TGI Friday's (not that fast), and a few others.

The best part of the experience was walking into a store that is just like Walmart (they own the store). I almost feel like I didn't leave the country, but just headed out West. I'm not sure what today is going to bring, but I look forward to it.

Until next time...take care of yourselves and each other!!!

Finally made it...

Phew! I made it Honduras, finally. I arrived at the airport yesterday and was denied b/c of a visa issue. I found out that if I book a return flight within 90 days I would not need a visa. I did that and flew out today (the next day). Persistence pays off...you better believe that.

I met Lacey on the flight from ATL to TGU (the capital of Honduras), we sat next to each other and chatted for a while. Naomi picked us up and we headed for Zamorano. It was a quick ride and there were some beautiful and not so beautiful sites to see. A sidewalk collapsed and landed on a 'love motel'...not good.

We made it to Zamorano and went to our school, I think that we will be comfortable there and have a good time. After touring the school, we headed to our houses, Lacey first and then me. I'm rooming with Naomi and Julie, and we have a lot of room in our place. It should be a good time.

Had a good meal (chicken, rice, beans, and a killer bean and cheese dip) at an outdoor restaurant and tasted Honduran beer. I enjoyed that! We also visited the local mini mart and picked up some items to eat. We returned home and played some games. Good times with good people! I'm ready to see what tomorrow brings.

Until next time...be good to yourself and each other!!!

Good bye New Orleans...Hello Honduras!

It's been a while since the last update here.

I left Korea on June 28th and headed home to New Orleans. I spent a month here, and I'm heading off to Honduras.

It has been a great month of family, friends, and food. Oh yea, the Korean night at the Hymel's place was awesome. It was great to have that experience with such good people.

It's so cool to see my best friends with their children, have a good time Lou and Mel, I'm happy for you guys.

I did a lot of work for school, and hope to continue on with my next two classes soon. I really enjoyed studying this summer and spending time with my grandmother outside of the library there in Baton Rouge (it's a boring place).

It was great hanging out with my mother,brother, sister, and niece and nephew in New Orleans, I had a lot to laugh at...Thanks!

Now that my time at home is up, I'm ready to move on and experience all that Honduras has to offer.

I'll write more this time around...I promise!!

Until next time....be good to yourself and each other!!!
