Hotel Villa Nuria San Pedro Sula

Well, I have just been having a normal week again, but on Saturday, Madi and I were invited to Cusuco National Park with 4 other volunteers. We went with 2 Honduran teachers, Miss Gladys and Miss Betty and their families and we had a great day. The day started well….. it was slightly overcast and cool and never got that hot, so it was pleasant for travelling. We left about 0730 and headed up a bad road for 2 hours to Buenos Aires, a small ...

... scored once. The US scored THREE times! Honduras scored once more to bring it close at the end. And at the very end, Honduras missed their free kick to tie it. If you´re bored, try to find the game onlñine and watch it! With a win, the US clinched their spot in the World Cup 2010 -- very exciting!<br><br>After the game, we waited in our section for about 45 minutes while the crowd dispersed. Once we left our section, we convinced a group of police ...

... dancing. One of them just involved just shaking your hips!! It was a really nice experience and nice to spend the last weekend with Sandra, before she heads to the ship. <br><br>We got back about 4am and so have slept in a bit this morning, before attempting my first hair cut! It was successful! So, I have some work to do this afternoon and then an early night, ready for the next week at the school!

... to the class about environmental conservation. He also danced to the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle song. <br><br>Jessica &#8211; 21 from LA and just graduated in May in International Relations and Economics. She gives hugs to everyone about 5 times a day and loves to dance. She is always talking to any random person on the street. She talks a lot about her chi and how to keep it healthy, which is why I&#8217;m surprised she keeps a chamber pot in her room so she doesn&#8217;t ...

... us something so they took some volunteers to hike and see monkeys, but the rest of us stayed behind to chill on the beach. After another back of a truck ride we got back to the hostal where we laid in hammocks and ate fresh fish the rest of the day. <br><br>We got back to Cofradia in a torrential rain, but we were so sand, bug bite and sunburn-covered that the rain didn&#8217;t really make a difference. Katharine (the now first grade teacher) and I walked to the ...

... since everyone stared at us as we walked by. Later, the churches were the most hopping place on a Saturday night. There are two within 2 block of my host family&#8217;s house. One was having a wedding and the other was having a vigil for their patron saint. It seemed like the battle of the churches. The vigil, in which they perform dances, skits and sing, was ALL night, 7pm-6am. Julia, my host grandma, went for the entire time and this morning said she didn&#8217 ...

Our flights went well yesterday. Paige &amp; Kim are staying at "The Rocks" which is Ben &amp; Terry's creation- a jungle pool with a tree house, a bunkhouse, a restaurant, and even a little dance floor now. They will be turning it into a hostel soon. My mom &amp; I are staying with a family that I became close to last year. They are SO generous- we are actually sleeping in their bed and they are sleeping with their children! We ...

... Corps volunteers. A locked gate provides added security to the property and parking lot. I certainly wouldn't feel safe walking around at night or day. My room was basic but spacious and clean. Luis' wife Blanca provided me my own pitcher of filtered water for the night. I tried to get comfortable and soothe my rather frazzled nerves watching Spanish MTV and listening to the rain pounding on the rooftops.

... br><br>While in San Pedro Sula I stayed at - Hotel Real, 6 Ave. Entre 6 y 7 Calle. It was a small attractive Hotel with rooms set around a pleasant courtyard over ...

... Semana Santa (paasvakantie). Maar voorlopig kunnen we er nog heen. <br><br>Met AFS zijn we ook al op stap geweest. Naar Copan Ruinas, zo mooi! Ik vond het spijtig dat we maar een weekend daar waren. Het was zo een lange reis naar daar, eer we daar waren konden we terug! We zijn zo nog is met alle studenten samen geweest, wat al geleden was van augustus. Wel leuk hoe iedereen zijn verhaal verteld en hoeveel dingen er al gebeurd zijn!<br><br>Volgende keer meer! <br><br>Groetjes Stefanie
