Sunny days.

So.

It seems like half of Tegucigalpa has a cold, including me. But I´ll happily take that over digestive problems any day!

Friday night I went to a discoteque downtown. It was really fun. Since it costs the equivalent of $5 to get in, the crowd was a little more sophisticated than us six "American" college students. The music was mostly Carribean. I danced with a couple Hondurans, who did a lot of turns.

Yesterday we all went to a county fair called Agafam. We saw lots of farm animals, including a brahman, which I had never even heard of before. It looks like a mix between a buffalo and a dog. Muy feo.
We also went up to Piccachu, which is an enormous statue of Jesus. It is situated on the side of a mountain, his arms outstretched over Tegucigalpa. I really don´t know what to think about that.

For Sunday dinner we had tilapia, complete with teeth and tail! Yum!

This afternoon, Ambar and I played outside. There is a little triangle of dirt/grass by the house, where we played baseball with a piece of wood and a little plastic ball. We also played volleyball by stretching her jumprope between a bamboo stalk and some ironwork on our window. It is fun, but the balls inevitably end up in these little gutter streams, which smell like they´re probably not carrying rainwater.

Something on my mind: a Honduran Burger King worker makes a little over the Honduran minimum wage, but can´t afford to eat at BK with what he makes.

Also, Hond. gets a lot of produce from Guatemala, but recieves the poorest quality goods. Gtmla ships the best stuff to the U.S. and Europe, the average stuff to a couple other Central American countries, and saves the worst for itself and Hond. I´m embarrassed!
