Time has gone by way, way too fast. I have wanted to write for a while now, but things are crazy lately. Not really busy, just trying to spend as much time as possible with everyone before next week. I think my best option will be to write the things that have been going on, when I get back home and have a little bit of time. Although, I am all that sure how much time really have even when I get home. I pretty much need to find a job as soon as I get there. It doesn't fun at [View Full Entry]

So I have survived the last leg of classes, although it isn't official yet. We still have exams next week. As of today (May 29th, 2009) I have been here for nine months and sixteen days. This got me thinking... I am not officially traveling; I life here. So I am considering changing my Blog to Wordpress.com, for a few reasons. There are most all the functions that Travelblog offers plus a few others. I can post photos and videos in each blog and I have control over the size and location. Readers will be able to subscribe, leave comments and, [View Full Entry]

The last two days have been quite strange. I said a very sad goodbye to my students on Wednesday. I am still going to school for a month though. I hang out in the lounge or clean my classroom, which is so quiet now. It was very difficult to say goodbye to my students. They have taught me so much this year. There was a lot of crying, some of it was on my part. They kept asking me if I could be their teacher next year and if I was at least going to stay next year so that they [View Full Entry]

Last night I was sleeping, soundly in my humble Honduran abode. I was having a dream about my hat, one of my favorite things to dream about. I find that dreaming about my hat is the second best thing to actually wearing it. Sometimes it's even better, seeing as how my forehead never sweats in dreams. However, last night's hat dream was different. One could even say it was a hat nightmare. The problem was that the hemp used to weave the Scala, from Sri Lanka, was all falling out. All that was left was some wire. The wire confused me, [View Full Entry]

The last few weeks have been flying by. I am not sure if it is because the year is coming to an end or if it's that everyone has had trips back home. Annie, Katie and Charles have all went home and came back. It's been weird not having the whole group around. Someone has always been missing for the last three weeks. Charles will be back tomorrow, but Leigh Anne will be in Roatan with her family next weekend and Annie will again be in the States. I have been thinking a lot about how much I have changed as [View Full Entry]

After a great weekend with the Mrs. I returned to the old routine. When I got to school on Monday I was greeted by one of the women who cleans my classroom at the end of the day. We have a few kitchen staff and they also open the rooms and clean up after the kids. Well her first words to me were, "Your room is full of bees." You can imagine what I thought when I heard that. I had images of nests being built and swarms of hornets flying in and around the books. I am known to tell [View Full Entry]

I have picked up two hobbies since I moved to Honduras. One is bike rides and the other is taking photos of roaming livestock while on my bike rides. I'll admit that the bike ride itself isn't a new hobby. I have been riding a bike since I was a kid, but a Honduran bike ride is a whole new experience. You see and learn a lot, sometimes things you like and sometimes things you don't. The livestock, for example, is something I really like. It always seems like they are going to give me a thrash or two for passing [View Full Entry]

Two weeks ago, Leigh Ann, Katie and I, took this amazing trip to Sambo Creek and Cayos Cachinos. I have been wanting to write about everything that happened there. But, here I am am two weeks later and still no blog about my incredible three weekend where I experienced so many new and amazing things. Instead, I am here in Comayagua blogging about probably what is meaningless to most people, except myself. I am trying not to let the fact that school is almost over, interfere with my day to day life right now. But, it's nearly impossible. Every time I [View Full Entry]

The last two weeks have been filled with many ups and downs. Luckily though, there have been more ups than downs. It is becoming harder to deny the fact that things are coming to an end. I know that the friends that I have come to love here, will be leaving in a matter or weeks. I will be leaving in July to spend some much needed time with my friends and family. Although I am anxiously awaiting the end of school, I am still trying to slow time all at once. Things have been good here though. Leigh Anne, Katie [View Full Entry]

Finally rainy season is returning. I was beginning to think I would literally melt the next time I stepped outside. The weather here isn't kind to a Western New Yorker, I think I might have mentioned that a few times already... but, it is finally starting to cool off a bit. Well... it is getting less hot, we still have a long way to go until it can "cool off." I consider myself to be a cold weather snob and I have very high standards when it comes to a wind chill. I never thought it was true, but there are [View Full Entry]
