Hello from Honduras!

apparently, I am NOT invincible...

Well, it's happened... I ate/drank something bad and am now sick. blah. I thought it was too good to be true to be completely healthy during the first week! I was taking many precautions - brushing my teeth with bottled water, washing fruits with soap, turning down coffee when offered to me, etc... Alas, I did not escape the little bacterias that infect pretty much every foreigner that comes to Honduras. At least I came prepared with Immodium and stronger prescription stuff if I need it...

Yesterday, I washed all my clothes... by hand! My mother must be proud. :) Note to self: do not pile up a week's worth of clothing when there are no washing machines on hand. My hosts did offer to take me over to where I could use one, but my pride made me decline and spend about an hour and a half washing clothes. Actually, it was kind of relaxing.

Still working on getting the pictures up...

  • haha- sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing at your pain, but I'm just recalling my own experiences overseas when I too realized that, no, I'm not invincible :P But I feel your pain :(
    wish you were here in New York too...
