Internet Anyone?!

• So we don’t have the internet anymore. And the phones weren’t working today either. So really, we are stuck with no method of communication, except to go to the city (which is where I’m sending this from). This is the MOST frustrating part of the entire experience so far, the lack of communication. AAHH!! It makes me cry some days, when all I want is to get an email from someone who loves me, and I can’t. Hopefully the internet comes back on soon, but no one really knows when/if that will happen.
  
  Cool Stuff I’ve done so far:
  ...Learned how to drive a scooter! This was very fun.
  ...Every night we hang out with this girl named Rosy and her family. They are awesome. I love hanging out at their house
  ...Swimming in the ocean just as the sun is setting. You can’t look at a scene like that and not believe in God. It is breathtaking. Pictures don’t do it justice.
  ...Driven a huge diesel truck over the bumpy dirt roads to a FIESTA, where I had to exhibit to the world that I have absolutely NO dancing skills!
  ...Learned how to make some traditional Garifuna foods, like coconut sweet bread.
  ...Went to the mountain with a 52 year old woman who chopped up wood like she was 20. Then carried the wood home on my back for ONE AND A HALF HOURS. She does this every day. I almost died.
  
• Stuff I’m frustrated with so far:
  ...Bugs! There are always bugs in the house. There are always little sand flies biting me, and then I am itchy and grumpy!
  ...My job. There is no internet, which I need to research what I’m supposed to be doing for my job. So pretty much I just try and keep myself busy, but waste a lot of time
  ...LACK OF COMMUNICATION. I think I already mentioned that!
  ...LACK OF SPANISH SKILLS. I don’t feel like I’m getting any better at Spanish, because most of the people here speak to each other (even around me) in Garifuna
  
  Anyway, I guess that’s the update for now! Keep writing me emails…when I do get them, I really appreciate them. A lot.
