Pase me la botella...

Recent highlights in my life have been:

1. Salsa dancing at this sweet restaurant called Sabor Cubano. People there really got moves. I also had flan that was not the watery mess Ms. Lanenga served us in grade 9, but so rich it was like cheesecake.

2. Ambar and I made our own little dictionary, which included our names and our mothers´names (all nouns) and other words like ¨amor¨ and ¨flor.¨ It was her idea, and she ran to the pulperia (convenience store) to buy a couple sheets of blank paper with money she found on the ground. She´s such a neat kid.

3. Visiting Congress. We met this one congresslady who was just on fire, it was awesome. And we learned about the valient few trying to wrest Honduras out of the clutches of foreign culture imposed by things like Pizza Hut.

4. Striking up a prolonged conversation with a Honduran student at the Pedegogica on a bench during lunch. His buddy came over too, who just so happened to know Jordan Bruxford (a good friend of my former housemate Peter). ¨I knew someone from Michigan. He was really tall.¨ Ha ha. It´s a small, small world.

5. A really good visit with my tutor, Keyla. She brought me to her house today. It was really interesting to see the contrast between the condition of her house and the way she dresses. I feel like a homely, frumpy mess next to her most of the time.

Did you know cashews grow inside of a fruit? Me neither. Also, this unripe fruit can give you a facial rash if you eat it unripe. I´m glad it wasn´t me.
