Night

April 22, 2009

The clouds finally came in today so today has a very refreshing feel. I am currently outside wearing pajama pants and sweater from Guatemala and it is perfect. The crickets are singing and I am sitting on a cowhide chair just enjoying the night in this dusty town. My Cuban neighbor just brought out internet so I can use it in my room so I am quite happy about that. It’s pretty nice to sit outside in the middle of a no name town in Honduras and sit online. It’s pretty incredible.

My Semana Santa out in Guatemala and Belize was quite awesome. We stayed in Antigua, Tikal and a little Garifuna village called Hopkins in Belize. I really wish I could put pictures up because they are quite fun but the internet here in La Union is a little lacking on the speed so it may take me about a year. So I have to either wait till I get to a faster connection or wait till the summer. One quick story about the trip besides the crazy amount of time in the bus. On our way from Puerto Cortez to San Pedro the police pulled our bus over for a normal check of people making sure there are no drugs, weapons etc. Well after they checked all the other guys besides me because I am white there was a mad rush to the door. Well the police seeing that I was white said that I was a tourist and made all the people get off the bus. Well some people started saying that the police man was discriminating and they were getting angry at him at me. All this time I just wanted peace and not to get beat up. Well to make the story short the police ushered me on the bus then I apologized and pulled my hat over my eyes as to not make eye contact with anyone. I made it to my destination after the person taking the money tried to rip me off and had no other problems. It was an experience.

Tomorrow some Capture the Flag. 5th Grade will conquer the 4th Grade!
