We're in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. When we arrived the first day we kept saying and thinking "what the hell were we thinking?!" Getting through the airport customs was interesting (Natalie had an accident because we were trapped in a section without a bathroom. I convinced her to go in her pull-up and after much protesting she did. But, it leaked and we were both covered in pee.). We were very over whelmed.
Things have steadily gotten better as more foriegn hires have arrived. Our apartment is know as "apartamentos a tras de CNA" which means we the apartments behind CNA, which is a big warehouse with a sign that says "CNA". There are 11 apartments total with a front patio gated with a guard. It's normal here to have your house gated and have an armed guard. We live in number 11 (which is awesome because it's my favorite number). The entire top floor, 5 apartments, is people who work at EIS (Escuela Internacional Sanpedrana where we work). There are also 2 single women who live downstairs who also work at the school. Most of them speak more Spanish than us, which is helpful when we are trying to get around.
Things are going well. The school has treated us very well. Yesterday we went to a private beach to play and do some training. It was great. Natalie loved playing in the ocean. We also got a game of beach volleyball going and Natalie played in the sand with some of the women here. It was great!
We're having a good time. Love to all.
Thanks Lisa. I know that "single women" note was just for me. :)
