Gracias and La Union

Well I am officially back in La Union. I am not going to lie it really feels good. We have been finishing up the decorations for the classrooms and getting ready for the orientation that is going to take place tomorrow. I have moved into a very nice house and all is well. Last weekend I was in Gracias we finally had all of the teachers from the states who are going to teach in Gracias arrive. I would like to say it went perfectly once they got there but it didn't quite go according to plan. At a few points I was more frustrated then I had ever been here in Honduras. With both teachers and administration but I guess that is bound to happen eventually. I think for a teacher or two the realization that this isn't a vacation and this is actually a job kind of hit them hard and for the administration they had to realize Americans have different needs then Hondurans. However, from what I can tell things are getting to normal there and hopefully it will stay that way. I have orientation with parents that I am supposed to do in Spanish tomorrow so that should be interesting but it will be good practice. I also have to go to Gracias again on Saturday to pick up a few new teachers from Great Britain as well on Saturday. Life doesn't cease to be busy here. I think its time for dinner. Adios y'all
