Today we went to the school to check out our classrooms--and try out the jumble of keys! The walk was advertised as 1 mile or 15 minutes, but it's definitely longer than that. You walk by a cigar factory with the greenest soccer field in all of Honduras and some poorer areas. We can take a shortcut through the property of a friend of the school, which makes the walk safer--the school is very nice, but in a pretty remote area. I took some pictures when we were there. The picture of the mountains is the view from the back of the school property. The building off by itself is the former kindergarten/preparatoria, but it is going to become the "junior high." For the group shot, we are sitting in front of the main pasillo where all the other classrooms are located. The new kinder/prep bulding is actually still a work in progress--at this point the walls are only a few feet high!
I felt a bit feverish today, I think maybe from not drinking enough water on the walk, but some resting in the afternoon (skipping out on a bit of lesson planning, but I couldn't focus at that point anyway) and some tylenol made me feel so much better. Plus we used the McCormick alfredo sauce packets B and L bought me to make pasta tonight, and that was awesome.
There's a lot of together time here, especially right now since we're "orienting," but all is well. I find myself staying up a little too late, just to have time to organize my stuff and have some time to think on my own. I miss everybody, so let me know what you're up to!
