Cool! Im shure you will have a great time there! You should try to take a wild ride around the Arenal Lake. It is only 110 Km in a 2 day bike ride or 4 hours by car. Good Luck!

Pura Vida Costa Rica is beautiful, Aunt Kathryn and I spent a week on the Pacific coast a couple of years ago and did a bus tour through the mountains and over by the volcano national park. Make sure you take in the Zip line, it is one of the biggest in the world. Happy Holidays....be safe...!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! Merry Christmas, Sarah. We had our Christmas dinner at my place on Dec.19th. You were greatly missed. I do believe that everyone had a good time. It is always good to get everyone together. Hope you have a GREAT Christmas. Love you and will talk to you later.

Merry Christmas!! Hey Sarah! Missed you for Christmas this year. I hope you and Walt have a wonderful time and myself, Tim and the girls wish a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
With Love, Auntie Ink
Thanks for giving us an on site perspective! Often when we travel, we've found the same thing...media has blown things out of proportion or only told part of the story. Places have always been safer than we were told before leaving....Since we spent timer in Honduras a few years ago, I really appreciate hearing what is truly going on. Thanks!
School Days No wonder you had trouble remembering the childrens names, I'm sure Iwould never get them straight. Two split classes sounds tough, but I'm sure you will manage just fine. You are a good teacher and the children are very fortunate to have you, just remember a good teacher makes such a difference to all of their lives, and will always be remembered. Gramps and I miss you and look forward to next year when you will be able to get home for a visit. We are both fine and send you our love.
Love always Nana and Gramps.
Gotta love the brats Oh, I remember those spoiled little brats and then I remember children's day when we went to "poor, under priveldged" schools, and what a completely different scene that was. Always made me think I should have been with those students. Keep up the struggle Sarita, it can only get better

Happy Thanksgiving It's great to hear that you had a great Thanksgiving even though you are so far away from home. It's good to have such good friends like that. I'm sure everyone enjoyed themselves and maybe the same thing will happen on the American Thanksgiving. Well Happy Thanksgiving from us here in Canada. Love you and keep having fun and sending your blogs. Love you.
Uncle Wally
Happy to hear that you enjoyed an almost traditional Canadian thanksgiving (except for the chicken part!). Sounds like you have a great group of friends down there! Wishing you all the best....Clara
Wow! I was living in Copan, Honduras 2007-2008, teaching at a bilingual school. I hadn't heard about Zelaya being back until I came across your post. I'm planning on flying in to SP in December to visit friends for a few weeks over Christmas break! I am really hoping things are OK politically so I don't have any problems getting in or out.
saving the turtles hey sarah...thanks for letting me know about your blog. i was immediately drawn to the turtles, i just love them. but to be there, witnessing such abuse, such disregard for animal beauty and wisdom....my heart would have torn apart. and since i became a mom, the intensity is so much more. i went to a turtle salvation project while in brazil. there, they had done projects to teach the locals that they could make a living off of protecting the turtles, instead of poaching them. (oh, those poor little babies. :( the one i went to was called the Projecto Tamar. did you get back there in september? and why don't the authorities do anything about this?? i can't imagine that turtle mom's crying...oh, it just kills me thinking about it. where are these kids parents? i know there are economic problems, poverty and such. i know it's complicated......but i need to believe in compassion.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Looks like everyone had a GREAT time. Maybe not so great the next day. Happens to everyone eventually. Keep safe and keep sending your blogs. Love you.
Uncle Wally

Love Your Blog Hey Sarah,
I love your blog and would like to be included on the list to keep reading about the amazing adventure called "Your Life"!
Thanks,

Trust in God I am a honduran/USA citizen, there is a fight here that may influenced for good other nations, if the truth stays. The struggle is not like the international media shows it. Until Monday we were in peace, the little minority who supports Zelaya was weakening, and he knew about it. Chavez didn't want to loose his investment in our country either. Zelaya did not bring anything good to Honduras, Micheletti became President because the Constitution said it. He sacrifice his personal ambitions for the country, and will explain why...he will stay there until January, and by the Constitution, because he became a president, for only a few months, he can't be a president anymore. Here in Honduras, your relative, friend and loved one will be OK. As a country, we the majority who are in support of the change, in support of stopping socialism in our country, needs your prayers, for a final stop to this struggle.
Please excuse me for intruding...Bless you all in Canada for sending volunteers to teach our people here and God bless you all...
Honduras I dont like Roberto Micheletti and his way to become president. Hopefully everything goes back to normal and you get back to your work. Cuidate y saludos.
Please be careful and stay safe. Your Dad and I are praying for a peaceful and quick resolution to this whole thing. We love you. Hope to talk to you soon Love Mom
Short Lift in Curfew Curfew has been lifted from 10am to 4pm today in order for people to go and get supplies. We're all preparing for the worst and stocking up on food. We're braving the grocery store. Everyone in the city is going to be out today. It's going to be a little crazy.
Hope things work out for the Honduran people I have been following this news via msn. I hope that there is no violence...the Honduran people have enough struggles without adding more! Hope school does reopen and all your students stay safe..along with you and your colleagues and Walter....
sad thx for posting about everything, not just the great things. ill be in granada monday for two weeks, ive been reading to get a sense of things there. maybe ill run into u!
It started with a year teaching in Honduras. Then it was home to the COLD winter of Canada to try and pay off some debts, followed by sailing the seas with Norwegian Cruise Lines, working as a youth counsellor.
Next it was back to Honduras, teaching in a school in Tegucigalpa!
Now, I am home in Canada but continue traveling.
Thanks for joining me on my journey!
