at the hogar

my first week living at the hogar was actually great!
i love being around the kids when i´m not their teacher.
and going to work at the other project for the morning to afternoon gives me a good long break from being there.
so far so good.
and my roommate at the hogar is great. we´re getting along extremely well. i can be my regular, somewhat inappropriate self with her.
and she´s big on the working out. so we work out together at the hogar in the afternoons (and some of the kids join in, which is pretty cute... or just dance around to our workout music).

so it was a positive week, although i was pretty much completely dead by friday. kind of like a zombie. i think that´s just an every week thing now. end of week is zombie exhaustion time. (sp?)

last night a small group of us went to watch the honduras vs canada football(soccer) game. canada lost. lots of happy hondurans driving around honking with flags hanging out the window. i brought my canadian flag just for kicks. it´s probably a good thing we lost or i may have gotten shot.
maybe.

this wednesday is national kids day so it´ll be busy and interesting. all the kids in the program get a gift, and i think there will be a bar-b-que and a piñata, fun!

next week mary (my roommate) will be gone renewing her visa, so i´ll be the only volunteer at the hogar. that´ll be interesting. i´ll be sure to write about that... and after that i´m going to renew my visa and take a couple weeks for travel.
always something new.

i hope everyone is healthy and happy at home or wherever you are.
