Last week was pretty much jam packed with classes and homework. On thursday night (we never have class fridays) we had a party at Alison Meyard's house and ate pupusas which are like this amazing tortilla cheese combo. Ben's girlfriend Melanie is here visiting along with the boyfriends of Alison and Allison. So we went downtown thursday night so show them around town.
Friday morning we gave Melanie a tour of Kennedy, the neighborhood where I live. She says "it is a lot to handle" haha. Kennedy is basically a million small houses all smushed together sharing the same walls. All of the houses are different colors with big water tanks on the roofs. In the streets are little restaurants, and people selling fresh veggies, eggs, tortillas, all kinds of food.
Saturday I went to a fundraiser night for my friend Heather's little brother. Each grade, kinder-5th, presented a traditional dance and we ate famous tasty Honduran food.
Sunday morning all of a sudden my mom came in my room and was like are you ready? Lets go. I had no idea where we were going but I just followed a long. (this happens all the time). We jumped my oldest brother Jimi's truck and took off for la villa where my mom has a small house in the country. I rode in the truck bed for about an hour. We passed through a tourist town where I ate an amazing slushie (totally worth the risk of getting sick) When we were in la villa I taught my cousins how to throw a frisbee. It was painful watching it smash against the gravel, off trees, into a chicken coop, and into barbed wire but It somehow survived. It was a fun weekend. On the way home I sat in the truck bed for an hour with sister and cousin while it rained the whole time. Definitely a bit chilly.


I register for classes today!! Scott I think I got you that rock climbing spot!
