Hello from Honduras! Okay, so this is me and Dave and Catherine, outside the embassy in Tegucigalpa. For those of you who don´t already know, we´ve had an interesting couple of days! We were supposed to arrive in a city on the North Coast called San Pedro Sula, on Monday, and Rory, the guy from CAUSE was supposed to pick us up in the truck and drive us out to Ciriboya, where we´ll be living. So we get to the airport, and guess what? Rory is not there! We get a message from an airport worker that says that we have to take a bus to Tegucigalpa, the capital city, and meet Rory there. Tegucigalpa (Teguc for short) is a four and a half hour busride away, and it´s a huge detour from Ciriboya.

But oh well! so here we are in Teguc, and we are supposed to be leaving today at some point. We have just been hanging out and running errands with Rory for the past two days, and this morning we went to this little village in the mountains because Rory had to pick up something, and the top picture is the view from up there. It was absolutely incredible. It´s hot here, but everyone says this is nothing compared to Ciriboya! So I can hardly wait!

It is a 12 hour drive from Teguc to Ciriboya, and we are supposed to drive half way today, but the truck is getting fixed and we´re waiting to hear from Rory as to what our options are! So many adventures already, and we´ve only been here four days. We´ve already been in a car accident, our taxi driver the other day hit another taxi, and just kept on going! Anyway, I´ve gotta run. Keep in touch everyone.

Hey,
Looks like you're having a blast so far besides the moldy water and long rides.

That little village reminds me of Chiapas...pictures never did it justice. I'm so glad you are having fun...I've been praying for you! They sound quite laid back, are you used to it yet?!
