And this one of Bowie...

I'm stickin' with Bowie!
BTW...it's just American Humor...no offense meant!
Getting my facts straight. Are you positive it's not David Bowie? You should take a closer look. Just try and picture the statue covered in sparkles and makeup. I can see how you're confused, it does look a bit like Merceditas, but it is most definitely Mr.Bowie. You see, he too was very active in the Honduran theater. In fact, our tour guide told us that, early on in his career, Mr.Bowie and Roy Scheider did a Geisha inspired two man version of the Miracle Worker. Honduran culture is so interesting.
Get Your Facts Right That is not David Bowie you ignorant gringo. It's Merceditas, she has a statue in the theater premises because she was the founder of the first Honduran Ballet Academy. A patron of arts and culture in Honduras. It's great to see that you came all the way here to learn nothing.
Subscribers Great news... I have found a way to send e-mail notifications to my readers. I am still working out the kinks, but once it works you will get an e-mail notification.
New Home Travel Blog will still exist and maybe I will use it from time to time when Karina and I take trips. I am trying to find a site that allows my to e-mail subscribers. Eric had a good point, getting an e-mail when I update is easy and convenient to some readers. I am checking out Wordpress as another possible home. I will post the link.
Thumbs up I like the new place - who knows - maybe I'll be able to access it from school. Will TravelBlog stay as it is? Will everything be saved? Or will you transfer it all over to the new place?
Voting I say stick with TB because your subscribers are unlimited. That is a big plus. Travel is something we all do every day, even if it's just getting out of bed: we travel from the land of dreams to the breakfast table. Travelblog is a journal. I love it. Thanks for showing up on my desktop whenever you post something, Clint! Let your readers find you, and subscribe. That's how we met. (And now I've got my on Travelblog. Many thanks for writing and publishing here!)

sentimos aliviados Is my grammar correct? We were relieved when we heard the earthquake originated off the coast, so we knew there were good chances that you'd be okay.
Hat trick Hey, El Gato Ensombrerado, that's quite the hat trick. Hockey fans, his bike fell over, and he wasn't even riding it. Whew! Glad you're safe. Watch out for those dreams! Last night I dreamt that actress Glen Close, portraying a Soviet journalist, asked me if she could borrow my pen, as hers had run out. She then proceeded to write on my white sock. Go figure! Be careful what you dream. And don't believe anything that Chicken Little says. ~eric.
SO GLAD TO SEE THIS POSTING! Clint - I was SOOO worried about you. I heard about this earthquake and feared it was where you are located. I am so glad you are okay. Earthquakes are a freaky experience! When I lived in Japan we had one EVERY year when we sat down for Christmas dinner. I mean BIG ones, that made us leave the table and seek cover, door frames, etc...Any hooo .....(got that from you!LOL) I am happy that you are fine and got to experience this quake. It's humbling isn't it - what power nature holds.
Glad You're Okay Clint, I'm glad to hear you are okay. I've been thinking about you and praying for the folks in Honduras since I heard about the earthquake. And glad to hear our friends in El Paraiso were unharmed. Still wishing I could join you and Katrina for your wedding day...God bless you, mi amigo. Buddy
Dyslexic English Classes The "effect" was so powerful it "verbed" itself onto me and I am therefore "effected" by it's "affect," which was such an "affective" verb it "nouned" itself off of me.
No Bull Amigo, Booyah ain't no "she!" If you look closely, country boy, this is certainly a bull. And that's NO BULL.
So, Clint, linked below is the very best Bull story I've ever heard. It's about a couple who own a bull named Chance, which is so docile that the use him for photo ops at fund raisers. They actually let the public on his back, and he never, ever, bucks or mis-behaves.
And then Chance dies, and they get him cloned! (NO BULL!!!!) And they name his son Second Chance. But things don't go so well with this one. You just gotta listen to this tape! (This is not fiction.) Here's the link from This American Life:
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=291
(If the link doesn't work, just google "Ira Glass" + Bull, and click episode #291. There is an earlier episode from 2007, but the current one (291) tells the story of both animals.

No hurricanes Patti, there is no way I will accept your "other" post on this blog. It will never see the light of day... and Scrabble has gone over pretty well. Karina likes it alright, but she wins every time because she changes the rules!
stanley cup II You must admit. I've been quite kind to you lately! OH!! Do you students use the scrabble game? Have you taught them how to play? I hope Karina kicks your butt playing - of course if you are playing with her Spanish words DO count!
God knows! Clint, I guess I see now that I wouldn't have had the patience to babysit students. Mercifully, He sent me to Switzerland to learn something I hope I am able to teach in a third world context somewhere. But you've been an inspiration.

Two more months! Two more months and I'll be sampling the Honduran rainy season myself! (I'm sure I'll get my fair share of stares as well with my gringo red hair!) Tio
Being a hockey fan in the heart of Honduras isn't easy. No ice rinks, no vacant parking lots, the streets aren't level and even if they were there is no one else to play with. I try to watch soccer, but it just isn't the same... and baseball is way too boring. Adapting to new cultures is always a challenge. However, I think I have a knack for it. When I spent almost a year living in New Orleans, after the storm, I learned a plethora of effective ways to settle into something new.
First, and most obvious, one needs to embrace the culture that they are living in. Second, it is always ... full info
