BACK FROM HONDURAS!

Hello Again!

I first off would like to apologize for my tardiness and lack of posts. Currently, I am sitting in the team room, after lunch writing this post. I am surrounded with people and guitars. Just how I like it. Many people are on their laptops writing things as well, and others are eating or talking. As I sit here in the serenity I think back on my time in Honduras. I think of Mauricio, the head of the Central American YFC, and our time at the waterfall, and the Futbol game we went to, and a thousand other things. I think the main thing that is going through my mind is how I am feeling towards Honduras. I miss it yeah, but not really like other people on my team do. I am wondering why that is. I definitely loved it there and would go back whenever but I don’t really miss it. :/ I don’t think it’s really a bad thing, but its just curious to me. Ok, anyway, a little about Honduras. It is a beautiful country, filled with many people who have one thing all in common. They all love futbol! They live for futbol! It was a blast to be able to go to the game of Honduras vs. USA. We all wore Honduras jerseys so we "blended in".

Now some about the people we met there. FIrst off, Mauricio, like i said before is the Director of YFC not only in Honduras, but also of all of Central America. He was our bus driver, concert planner, roadie, everything. He was THE MAN. Another few were Brenda, basically our mom for the month, and Sanitago, who just helped us around and hung out with us. Both of them were YFC volunteers.

i want to tell you about a waterfall we went too. First off, it was huge. Mauricio said we can go down into the waterfall for a small prcie with a guide. So we are thinking its really safe and stuff so we go down, but Mauricio said we had to wear shoes, couldnt take cameras or towels or glasses or anything! so we start to go down and we eventually actually do go INTO the waterfall. Like actually into it. It was so rad! We had to hold hands so no one would get lost or anything and we had to completely trust the guide or else we really could have died. It was completely worth the five or so bucks that it cost and the lessons i took form that I still think about.

Well, thats all for now! check out pictures on my facebook for more!
