The Water Tastes Like Mold!

Ok, so I'm in Houston Texas, on the first leg of my journey to Honduras! Me and my two Honduras roommates, Dave and Catherine, and our fellow Guatemala intern Matt, arrived in Houston tonight. We are staying at a hotel until tomorrow morning, when we fly to San Pedro Sula, and get picked up for a truck ride that could take anywhere from 6-12 hours, depending on the roads. (and when I say roads, I really mean like little dirt paths that goes up the coast for a good chunk of the trip!)

The water here tasted like mold. I was seriously scared to drink it...I pictured us all getting food and water poisoning before we even get to Honduras. Is it normal to taste like that in Texas? Who knows?! Anyway, I can hardly wait to take pictures of Honduras to put on this blog for you all to see. I can't say it's been easy though. Saying goodbye sucks. Big time. I hate it. It is always like a dual thing, of excitement for adventure on one hand, but the absolute sadness of saying goodbye to friends and family on the other hand.

Anyway, to all my family and friends at home, know that you are missed by me. A LOT. And keep in touch with me. Okay, I love you all.
