With 21 days of school and 34 days left in Teguc. I felt the need to revisit an old blog post.
In Honduras 1
Only in Honduras 2

You know you're in Honduras when...

*You hear an eagle call as you walk through the grocery store. Don't worry, it's just a way of cheering for the soccer team.
*Cheers erupt throughout the whole mall when a team scores, and everyone stops what they're doing to check the score. You walk through the food court and feel like you're passing through a flash mob where everyone is frozen, mesmerized by the game.
*You can sneak whole restaurant take-out boxes into a movie theater. (F&F5=great movie)
*You can hear the geckos barking (yes, barking) within your walls.
*You open your classroom windows in the morning only to find a bird has decided to perch in the rafters. You don't mind; this is normal.
*Your students would rather play soccer in the blazing sun than go see the new fountain the school put in. NM..your students would rather play soccer, than..pretty much anything.
*Hot day schedule begins, where kids get out an hour earlier because it is so hot.
But on the days you hang laundry out to dry, it pours rain.
*You bond with a Honduran at church through your lack of Spanish skills. But you understood most of the sermon without the translation; though it helped to be seated by someone who's practically bilingual.
*You remember how the first Spanish phrases you began to recognize were:
"levántese" and "y sus pies" and "siéntese" --knowing when to stand and sit in church..haha,
fortunately you can watch people for clues. But watch out for those false-sitters, or pre-empters, who think it's time to sit down after the prayer, but the band still has one more song.

Tomorrow's a field trip to a natural history museum--stay tuned to hear more!
