Hey Everyone, I know it has been a long time since I have posted anything. The internet has been really unreliable lately, and I have been keeping really busy. My trip over Christmas was awesome. We went through Honduras to the Capital of Tegucigalpa and then to Nicaragua. All on buses, and no nice, expensive buses. Tegucigalpa was really nice we stayed there for three nights( we only wanted to stay two, but missed the bus one day). The city is in the mountains so everything is built on hills. There is not really any flat ground. We hiked to the Jesus statue on top of the mountain. You will see this in pictures. The day we traveled to Nicaraqgua was crazy. I will never complain about traveling again after this day. When we left to ... read more

Hey everyone, The internet has not been working very well and I have been pretty busy so I have not been able to post an entry in a while. A bunch of the teachers and me went to the Honduras-Mexico world cup qualifying last month. It was a huge game because Honduras had to win to go to the next round of qualifying. This time we rented a bus to go to the game so we had no trouble getting ther and back. The game was awesome. We got there about two hours before the game and the stadium was almost completely full already. Everyone was cheering and making noise the whole time. By an hour before the game the stadium was completely packed. It was also pouring rain most of the time which made it ... read more

Hey, Apparently we are in a "red zone" so school is canceled agian today. They canceled it last night so I didnt even have to get up early. It was good that they canceled it last night because it isnt even raining today. This red zone is weak. I think we are going to the beach today. Anyway here are some more pictures. Okay so I am all caught up on posting pictures. It is nice to have two extra days off school. Also I made a couple maps of where I live and where I have been. I am going to try to keep up better with posting blog entries and pictures, and replying to messages and emails. I may have a few more pictures to post after I get some off other peoples cameras. ... read more

Hey Everyone, School got canceled today because of the rain. All the streets are flooded. It is still raining so school might not happen tomorrow either. It has been raining a lot lately. We keep getting tropical stuff from the Carribean. Last week, it rained for two and a half days because of a tropical depression. I guess it is like this a lot during hurricane season. I had some time to upload pictures today so I am posting a lot on this entry. I do not mind the rain much yet. It is kinda fun. I think I have seen more rain in the last week than the whole rest of my life. I went to the Honduras-Canada world cup qualifying game in San Pedro a couple weekends ago. It was really fun. The crowd ... read more

Hey everyone, Sorry that it has been a while, but I am really busy all of a sudden. There seems to be an endless stack of papers to grade. Also, I started Spanish lessons for three hours, two days a week, I am coaching girls basketball, and I am tutoring a little 5 year old boy two days a week. I am starting to not like having 6 different classes, because there is so much stuff to do for them. The girls basketball team is fun, but a lot of them are really whiny and practice is tiring. We had our first game two weekends ago though and that was really fun. The girls are smaller and younger than the other teams, and haven't played before so we got killed. Spanish lessons are good so far. ... read more

Hey Everyone, Sorry I haven´t been able to update this much. The internet is really unreliable. I am going to post a bunch of pictures on this entry. I will write about what is going on later. The computer and internet are pretty slow so I cant do too much at once. So there are some pictures. I will put up more soon. I need to upload some from my camera, and get some from Sarah´s friend. A new foreign teacher came yesterday and he is from Colorado. He graduated from CU in December. I thought I was going to be able to watch the CU-West Virginia game on ESPNDeportes because last week they showed the Thursday night game, but this week they showed soccer instead. I am pretty sad. It would have been nice to ... read more

Hey, Sorry it has been a while since I wrote, but the internet at the school has been broken all week. I am at an internet cafe now and the internet is really slow, so I am only going to write a little. I promise I will post pictures as soon as the intenet at the school works. I am glad to see that so many people are reading this. Hello Brian and Kelly, Uncle Kurt, Uncle Mark, Uncle Dave, Vicky, and anyone else. I just wanted to let everyone know that I am okay and school is going well. I am starting to figure out the tough class a little. I am not the only one having problems with them. All the teachers are having problems. The rest of my classes are great though. Isaac ... read more

Hey, First of all, I have been really busy with school and haven´t had time to post pictures. I will do that next week hopefully. To answer some questions. Yes I have met the kids. Most of them are really great, but one of my fourth grade classes is really difficult to handle. All the other teachers agree with me. The structure of the school makes it so I teach 6 classes a day, 2 in fourth grade, 2 in fifth grade, and two in sixth grade. I am also the homeroom teacher for one of the sixth grade classes, which means I am in charge of things, not sure what yet. It is tough teacher six different classes. I have to learn about 130 names and a lot of them are hard to pronounce. One ... read more

Hey everyone, The internet is finally working at the school, so I decided to start this blog. I will try too write entries about what is going on and post pictures here. It took me a while to get here since my plane in Denver was delayed. I had to stay the night at the Marriot in Miami. When I finally got to the airport in San Pedro Sula, Roy, the cousin of the director of the school was waiting for me. Both my bags arrived, and we drove about 45 minutes to Puerto Cortes. I went to the house and picked out my room. Since so far there are only two of us in the house, I got one of the rooms with a bathroom. I will post pictures later. Right now the only other ... read more
