... it would be easy to get the connections, but everyone was so helpful and helped us transfer from one bus to another very smoothly. It was much easier than I thought it would be, and actually a lot of fun. <br><br>Anyway, I have another usual week ahead and we have another volunteer joining us tomorrow &#8211; Bryan from Ireland. He is going to help me with the science and hopefully take over from me in January. Until the next installement&#8230;

... sure that they would understand "dissolve" better in spanish than English! <br><br>Year 3 are at the moment looking at light and how temperatures vary from the north to south. We have been using data from the internet and drawing graphs.<br><br>year 4 have a fun topic of the planets. We made paper mache models! We will get on to study gravity this week - more fun practicals ...

... act like wild animals. <br><br>My first thought was, "All the children I have been thinking about and planning for and imagining all actually right in front of me in one room! Ah! My class has 9 sweet little girls and 17 boys, 5 of which seem to have been raised by wolves. They climb all over each other and lay sprawled out on the floor for no reason. On the first day we had some near-escapees who tried to run out the door. It&#8217;s hard to teach such a group how to be normal ...

... good tips from her experience teaching preschool and kindergarten last year. She is also about a foot taller than me so we make a funny looking pair. <br><br>That&#8217;s the team! We all get along well! I live in the volunteer house with K-Lo, Samira, Katharine and Jessica. I was surprised how all of us are pretty clean, but then I thought maybe it is just because this is the filthiest house I&#8217;ve ever lived in. The other teachers live in 3 apartments a few blocks away.

... to play with water and that was the cheapest place to get them. They are about ½ m in diameter and maybe 40 cm deep and I got them for about £2.50 each. Not bad eh? I tried haggling but the lady was not going to budge! I'm hoping to find someone to give me a lift with all my school stuff next week, as well as finding somewhere secure for them. <br><br>As far as my ...

... have only taken 40 mins. There were long and slow queues most of the way into the city, and so that bus was v hot and crowded. Interesting to people watch though! The problem was that there were marchers going from the outlying towns into SPS and so the traffic built up behind them. The marchers were protesting about the coup and in support of the president. Other than this, we have not seen anything at all of ...

... party! They had food and pineapple upside down cake! Delicious!!! We played their favorite game "Los Globos", or "Balloons". They write silly commands on little pieces of paper and stuff them into balloons before blowing them up. For example, we may have had to act like a lion or a chicken or give a speech about someone in the room. It's fun! We said our goodbyes and then we were off to bed.

... Contras in the 1980s. Now the U.S. military uses Soto Cano as a launching point for its war on drugs efforts in Central America as well as humanitarian aid missions throughout Honduras and Central America. We were there before the formation of the US military's Joint Task Force Bravo (JTF-B) which is headquartered at Soto Cano.

Couldn't get a direct bus from Copan to Tegucigalpa today as planned: the road is blocked due to flooding and landslides. Decided to head to San Pedro instead: better travel connections from there and there's no point staying in Copan now that I've decided I can't face visiting any more ruins. Joined forces with a Swedish girl called Frida who had been in my ...
