i´m baaaack

i´m back at the hogar - have been for a week now.
i got home to find that i had been breeding lice for the three weeks i was away... totally disgusting. i have to do treatment #2 tonight and hope that´ll cure me. i will spare you the details of the lice... lets just say my discovery of them made me want to throw up - just a little.

the saturday after i got back a group of us went to watch the second canada vs honduras football game - where canada got trampled by honduras much to my dismay. but again, probably better for my safety being a canadian in a room full of crazy honduran football fans. me and the one other canadian with me had our little flag and cheered when canada got their one goal - woohoo!! go canada!!- we got some interesting looks.... stared down is maybe a better description. we were definitely alone on that one... awkward moment in a crowded room....
celebrating a honduran win is much more fun while in honduras than celebrating a canadian win would be. cheering and hanging out of car windows as people throw water at eachother in comradarie vs hiding from angry fans weilding machetes (this is how it is in my imagination). pick one.
anyhoo...

it´s nice to be back to a full staff of volunteers. finally!! we have 4 living at the hogar now, and 4 working at the campesino project i go to every day. teaching and being at the hogar have been reletively pleasant with actual help. i´ll be teaching english classes soon to the hogar kids in the afternoons twice a week, along with a few of the other volunteers. we´re also starting computer classes. none of us really know what we´re doing - but, as with most things here, we´ll learn as we go!
so i´m still busy - but i´m sure it will fly by as i only have less than two months left here!
it´s crazy to think i´ve been gone from canada for 4 1/2 months....
