Santa Lucía
A couple of scenes above from my training site and the road to my host family´s home. A bus picks me and four other Peace Corps Trainees up every morning (except Sunday) and drives us to the training site about three miles away. We spend a lot of time in Spanish classes as well as other classes about Honduran culture and our proyectos. Tomorrow (Sunday) I leave for a town called Juticalpa in El Departamento de Olancho, which is about three hours east of Tegus to stay three days with a Peace Corps volunteer assigned to that area. It is designed to be a taste of what the life of a volunteer is like for when we finally finish training in May. Every afternoon at about five o´clock we five PCTs are deposited at the entrance to the dirt road to begin the climb to our host familys´ homes and dinner. More studying after dinner and then I´m in bed by 8 p.m. to begin the day anew at 5 a.m. There is so much more to say but I´m beat. I´m in Santa Lucia this Saturday afternoon using an internet site about as big as a large closet with three computers where the neighborhood kids play computer games. I´m going to have a late lunch and walk to my host family´s home about ten miles away. I leave early in the morning.

Is that you in the purple shirt with your leg extended?
I’m so glad you posted pics too. You sound exhausted. So much to do! So much to learn. We all miss you. Elinor, Henry and Albert don’t really realize where you are and continue to ask for you. I can’t wait to hear where you are finally going to get “stationed”. Love you.

Oh yeah…we had a playdate with our friends Paul and Susan for the kids (Kate & Lucy). Anyway, I realized I hadn’t told her what you were doing. She was amazed. She was like, wait he speaks spanish AND he’s a nurse. How lucky is the Peace Corp. They were like “SCORE”!!
