Week 3

The end of our time here is coming up fast now! I'm getting excited to see everyone at home again- I miss you all. I won't lie, air conditioning, less than 500% humidity, and ice water will be wonderful too.
This past week was fairly uneventful. Our schools went fairly well, and we went for an extended weekend in Copan. Copan is near the border of Guatamala. It's a big backpacking city and the site of some famous Mayan ruins. The ruins were so cool, I took a ton of pictures that I'll have to put up. It was so neat being in someplace with so much history. It was a pretty crazy weekend, though. There was a hurricane or something, so it poured the entire time. The sewer system was overwhelmed, so there was no water. We had to move out of the hostel we were saying in to a hotel that had water, which turned out to be kind of nice, because they had tv, including the Disney channel in Spanish! Our trip home was extended, too, because the bus system is on strike, and when they go on strike they do it by parking the buses in the middle of the road, so you have to find your way around.
It was good to get back to work today. Our class was huge, 50 kids, and I had to break up a fight in the middle, but other than that it was uneventful. Thursday we leave for a school about 2 hours away, so we're doing homestays for that time. It should be really interesting and I will definitely have to report back on that. Hope everything is going well there!!
