Hola!

Don't worry mom and Ashley we have survived the hurricane. All is well, and very wet. This weekend was pretty relaxed just doing homework and getting caught up since our trip was cancelled due to the tropical storm. This is a picture of my room, there is a place to hang up stuff on the side but thats pretty much it. It's pretty sweet and I have an awesome lion blanket! Classes have been going well, lots of spanish readings every night thats for sure. It's definitely a huge change from mainly biology and science based classes. I've started to make some honduran friends from class and eat lunch with them sometimes. It's fun to practice with people my own age. We had chinese food the other day and my mom was very persistent of the fact that we were eating dog and rat. It looked just like the chinese food in the states, and tasted similar so I don't know if I believe her. Last night we went to my mom's co-worker's house for dinner and we ate sandwiches that consisted of bread, cheese, mayo-ish stuff, and cold beans. mmmm mmmm. I'm gunna post soon about all the super strange food I've been eating, like a lot. My spanish is improving but I definitely only understand close to 50% of the things my family says. They speak super fast and have never had a student before. In school, the other hondurans are learning english and understand how hard it is and are very helpful. It's getting better but things are still strange sometimes. My goal for next week is to visit the iguana farm that is like 5miles away. It only costs 10 Limpiras to enter, which is like 50 cents.
All is well, Honduras is fun, God is good.
