Well, Spring Break has officially been happening for 2 days and I am SOOO thankful. After 3 straight months of work, we were all definitely ready for a break!
We (Rachel, Tad and I) left right after school on Friday and headed to Santa Rosa to meet up with two of Rachel's friends and two of Tad's friends who came to visit. We enjoyed some good coffee, getting to know each other, and PIZZA!! (I think the friends from the states were a little disappointed that we weren't jumping to show them Honduran food but... we haven't had pizza for a very long time :))Then we pretty much crashed in the hotel and prepared for a morning of traveling. Saturday we left early and took buses to Copan. We settled into our hostel (one room, 3 sets of bunk beds, and one extra bed in the middle- but its like $7 a night so we don't complain :)) and went and visited the bird park here in Copan, then went and had some supper. We walked around the town and visited a couple places that Rach and I remember from when we were here in October. We found a karaoke bar to hang out at for the evening so that was pretty exciting. A group from Utah was there and the first thing we heard sung was "Dancing Queen" so.... we stayed :) This morning, everyone went to the Ruins, but since I've already been there and am trying to save a little money.... I stayed home and read East of Eden. AHHH. It has been SO long since I've been able to read and I really, really love this book so far so it was definitely a morning well spent. For lunch we went back to the bird park because they have a natural pool there and our tickets last three days, so we swam there and ate after. It was so relaxing and such a beautiful day. At 3, we left on a 3 hour horse tour up the mountain. Our guides were really great and it was so fun! (The only time I've been on a horse was at Hidden Acres when they set us on top of a horse with a helmet on our head and walked us around in a circle :)) We're freshening up here at the hostel and then we're going out to dinner somewhere. There's a place here that has suuuuper good dessert so we might check that out too. :) Tomorrow we are leaving at 6am to go to San Pedro Sula and then on to Tela (the BEACH!) for a few days. We'll be bringing all the friends back to San Pedro and heading back home to start school again on Monday! Semana Santa is this week of Easter, and it's very celebrated here- with parades and services and parties. I'm not sure what all we will be doing or how much we will be able to join in the festivities because of traveling, but I'm hoping to see some celebrating. Maybe I'll have to buy some eggs, find a stove and some dye and have my own Easter egg hunt on the beach :)
Enjoy your Palm Sunday and the rest of this Holy Week!
