Daily Life

I just thought I´d put a few little things in here about our daily life. Food usually consists of rice, beans, avocado, eggs, cheese and lots of tortillas. Our host family is also fond of ¨mantiquilla¨which roughly translates to butter, but in this case is a lot closer to sour cream, and they eat it a lot (though are kind enough to put it on the side for us so we can choose not to eat it). We also have coffee at least once a day and sometimes we have it with dinner as well. Hondurans like their coffee with lots of sugar and milk, but the coffee is good, so we´re not complaining.

We are currently visiting another volunteer and are experiencing a completely different climate from where we are training. In our training site, the rainy season is really felt, with almost daily torrential downpours. Everything stays pretty humid and damp, which is causing our clothing to mold, something we are learning to avoid through proper ventillation. Here, at our site visit (we´re shadowing another Municipal Development - Muni D - volunteer), the sun is intense enough to keep us inside in the early afternoon. We are enjoying seeing another part of the country and actually finding out what another volunteer is doing (she only has one month left, so has accomplished a ton in her two years). During our visit so far, we have attended a drag-race and followed our volunteer around the construction of the park she has helped plan, amongst other things. Until next time...que le vaya bien (that it goes well with you).
