week one in honduras

Well I HAVE NOW BEEN in Honduras for one week. I feel great and my sinuses are loving it
here as well. I seem to keep busy. i watch tv in spanish in the morning while i am getting ready.
i could now have a fairly intelligent conversation regarding all of the various countries in central
and south america and Mexico. i no longer watch the news from honduras because the first
morning it showed 13 guys murdered, laying on their stomachs, decapitated with their heads
sitting on top of their backs.

use to live with her and her family when he first got here. they are planning a trip to san pedro
azule, and it just happens that the town i am going to, potrerillos, is on the way and close by.
martha made a phone call to a woman. she is going to check with the bishop up there to see
if i can rent a room from anyone. it would be alot cheaper than a hotel and i really want to
take a trip to copan to the mayan ruins and a few other places. i might be more comfortable
in a hotel but i might as well see what life is like living with farmers in a small hondurian
community. it should be trippy.

i am really enjoying myself. my food is all prepared, my laundry is kept up daily. i watch
tv and study my spanish in the morning and then visit with people all afternoon. what is not
to like about that. i need to figure out how to get pictures from my i phone onto another
computer. i haven`t found a mac down here. it will be fun to share some photos. there are
some photo`s on my facebook from a party that i went to, if anyone is interested.

i love you all and i am sure i will start missing you all soon.

love, Bonnie

i am giving up on capital letters. they are difficult to make on any computer that i have
used down here. sorry about the misspelled words. i spent too many years with flowers
and not keeping up my writing skills.

  1. Sounds like you are in the groove already! And I haven't heard the word "trippy" in such a long time . . . it's definitely due for a comeback!!

  2. Bonnie, this sounds great. It was so good to hear your voice. I often feel vaguely empty, and then realize, "Oh yeah, it's because Bonnie's not here." By the way, you can post pics from facebook onto your blog. Just click on the photo to enlarge it, then drag it to your desktop, then upload it to your blog.

  3. I sure hope your new place, Potretrillos, has a TV and laundry service! Life in Teguc sounds marvelous compared to what my imagination thinks a Honduran village has to offer. You are such a trooper that even lack of indoor plumbling shouldn't affect those rose colored glasses of yours. Your blog reminds us all how lucky we are to live and travel in the first world. (Life here in Germany is sooo easy. I'll report on life in Istanbul in a few days.)
