Kicking it in Teguc...

I just wanted share some of the fun that I have been having. It's not all work...Sometimes we play too...

We had a great time with the gynecology brigade last week. They were a lot of fun to have around, and they changed up our routine a little bit. Before we sent them back home we all went to La Pita for lunch and a little bit of fun in the canopy. The canopy is a five part zip line that is in the "canopy" of the trees. It's not good for anyone with a fear of heights, but I had a blast.
After all of our fun last week, we topped it off by chilling in Tegucigalpa for the weekend. Sheree and I had to take the gynecology brigade into the city to drop them at the airport, and then we spent the rest of the time shopping and relaxing...we had a great time. I hadn't been to the city in almost two months. Tegucigalpa is like a little America, they have several malls...all of which are bigger and nicer than our mall in Boise, and they have restaurants...I ate at a Wendy's. It is a totally different world than here in Olancho. The most American thing that Catacamas has to offer is that we occasionally will go and get pizza at the Texaco gas station. It's hard to explain, but I definitely prefer our world here in Olancho.
But spending the weekend with Sheree's honduran sisters Karely and Dilian, and her niece Linda was a really special treat for me. They have all become my very close friends, and I am going to miss them when I leave.

I am glad you are having some fun too! Those birds are so beautiful...very brilliantly colored.

You were in the city and could pick anywhere to eat and you chose Wendy's? I guess you must have been craving fast food!
