Last Few Days in Copan

So, we are officially two weeks in. Less than a month to go, but who´s counting?

This week in general has just been uneventful. Last night our group went to the Hot Springs... they were pretty cool but my skin can´t really stand hot water so I stayed in the same pool the whole time. It was the coolest hot pool there. I stood in one of the hotter ones but it was too hot.  For sure. They had some different things you could do there. There was a small waterfall that was used to massage the neck and shoulders. It felt REALLY good. That was my favorite. There was also a mud bath... I didn´t do the mud bath only because it was crowded and I didn´t feel like asking people to leave. It probably would have been more enjoyable with less people but hey. It was still really cool.

Ha, so today for lunch I sit down at the table and there is a whole fish sitting in front of me... all in tact. It was fried. It had eyes. The mouth was open. You could see the fins. The bones were still in it... yeah let´s just say that was interesting for me. I didn´t eat a lot of it. The fish tasted good but I couldn´t get over the fact that I was basically just looking at a dead fried whole fish. I was laughing at myself because I just couldn´t do it. I had a hard time working around the bones and avoiding any part of the head... eating fish brain did not seem enjoyable to me.

On Friday we head back to San Pedro Sula. We will be staying with host families Saturday and Sunday night. Then I believe we will be in a hotel for a few nights. We will be doing some traveling with MCC for the next couple of weeks. I have no idea if I will have any time or access to update my blog. But I will do what I can. We have a variety of places we will be going. We´ll head to the capital at some point in time, we have a lot of day trips, then a few overnight trips. Definitely enough to keep us busy.

Today is probably my full four hours of language school. Tomorrow I think we are coming, taking the test, then having a BBQ. I´m kind of glad that the language is almost done, although I will still need to speak some. I like the language it has just been difficult for me to not speak French. French probably pops in my head more than Spanish does. But what can you do. We are going to a Catholic Mass tonight. It should be interesting and an eye opening experience.

It´s been really hot. I´m hoping to go to the Cafe with my teacher today since it´s so hot at the school. We will see.

Until Next Time,
Kelley
