Pictures Coming Soon...

Saturday was a very chill day. Sarah and I went in search of a shoe store for giants a.k.a. people with a shoe size bigger than 6. However, I was given directions to look on (translated from spanish) commercial avenue. Unfortunately, the streets do not have names here. So, we took a break and stopped at a pastry shop for some cake. With my brilliant command of Spanish, I told the woman behind the counter that I was looking for shoes and asked where could I find them. She looked confused as if to say, "I don't know where your shoes are." What a shot to my spanish speaking confidence :). Turns out commercial avenue does not have a sign. Commercial avenue is where there is a lot of commerce a.k.a lots of stores in a row. Riiiiight. By the time we found the store we were looking for it was closed.

Later that evening we went to the central plaza to what we thought was going to be a music festival. No such luck. Not even a street musician, which I have not seen any of since I have been here (unless you count the guy that sung "american woman" to us last week at the soccer game). We played tag for a while with one of Sarah's students and her little brother. I'm sure the honduran people in the plaza were curious as to why we were chasing itty bitty hondurans around, but we had a good time. Eventually, Brian (1st grade teacher) asked the owner of the restaurant we were sitting at to bring out his guitar and he played for a bit and then we went back home for an early turn in night.

Sunday, another day of attempted shoe shopping. Unfortunately, Sarah, Leah (grade 6 teacher), and I found that the store we were hoping to find big people shoes in was once again closed. So, we returned home to gather everyone to go to the soccer game. Five of us fit (not including the driver) into one taxi. Unfortunately for the driver we bottomed out a few times. He however was the one who suggested we all come in his taxi so we didn't feel too bad. It was a pretty boring game until the end when it was tied and "our" team had a free kick and made a gooooaaaal!!!! People were scaling fences and going crazy. Sarah too pictures, so I will probably also heist those from her website as well when they are posted :)

Back at home after a once again packed taxi ride, we were all too nervous to sleep well. I finally fell asleep around midnight and woke up at 2:30am because I was so excited/nervous and was unable to fall back asleep. Thus begins the school year.
