Dive In Caribik Bay Islands

... for the Hogar´s Agriculture and Livestock Program. So I have been writing mission statements, objectives and project plans for the past two weeks in Spanish. Luckily for me, the agro director and I have been in contact with an agro NGO here in Honduras, and they have provided us with good advice on a range of issues from commercialization of crops to irrigation improvements. Next week, I hope, we will finish this work and then start putting the plan in practice. The agro ...

... Jim Carrey, Blackberry (Jim Basillie), Pamela Anderson, and Alexander Graham Bell to name a few). We followed Canadian Jeopardy up by watching the Pilot episode of Due South- still my favourite!

Also of note, for those who have not heard, there was a military coup in Honduras on June 28th. So far things have not been too bad, and it has not really affected the area where we are beyond closing school for the last two weeks. There have only been two deaths ...

... For awhile, I had been seriously contemplating extending my time at Amigos de Jesus but I am 97% sure now that the second week of November will be the end of my time here. It is unfortunately just unlucky timing that has kept me from extending 4 to 6 months longer. I am planning on going back to school to get a Masters in International Relations and all the deadlines are in December or January for September 2010. Furthermore, my sister is getting married ...

... for lunch and taught me how to make tamarindo juice. I don't think we have tamarindos in the US but they kind of look like mushy, maroon pea pods. I had to massage them into water to get the flavor out and then add sugar and more water. It's a delicious flavor! Her family is always so sweet and they are extremely welcoming.

The rest of the day we spent emptying our suitcases! After seeing the need last year, I decided that this year we ...

... a day. Paige & Kim stayed all day to help with the older kids too. Me & my mom went back to school to pitch in where we could.

After school Digna had a going-away party for Mr. Tim. Her family recently expanded their tortillaria and they now produce 5,000 corn tortillas everyday! They do half the batch around 6 am and the other half around 4:30, once it starts ...

... not involved in teaching classes up at the school but I am the tutor for four of our high school boys. Our teenage boys do not go to school onsite; they go to the high school in Macuelizo. Mario, Pedro (who I am teaching to drive), Gilberto and David are my charges and they range from 8th grade to 11th. Let´s just say I am doing more mathematics now then I have in 6 years, seems like mathematics gives people problems the world over. My parents were ...

Bon... Ce qu`on pensait etre une destination de reve c`est avéré plutot décevant! Pas vraiment de plages, pas de beau snorkeling, tout axé vers la plongée (qui selon plusieurs n`en valait pas la peine non plus) et, des 3 jours que nous étions là, 1 seule journée de soleil... On a loué un scooter pour passer le temps! Bref, on retourne à La Ceiba!

... past me. Some seemed to glow or radiate luminescent colours of purple, blue, or green. As we all agreed after, the colour combination was limitless. Too bad there are no underwater photos! I don't remember breathing very often, I was so concentrated on looking down. The flippers were awkward. I always tried to glide on top of the water surface to avoid breaking any coral. It would take 50 years ...

... off the island. The diving was not that good and it was very expensive! I decided this was not where I want to be for my dive master experience. I got to see the president of Hondurus on my departure out trying to straighten out the problems on the island.
