These next few days consisted of the nine new teachers running around trying to find places to live, food to eat, bank accounts open, cell phones set up, and generally attempting to stay healthy. Gina, the superintendent secretary, escorted us through this maze of misunderstandings and chaos. Don Tito, the bus drivier, loaded and carried everything we owned while still smiling and greeting us cheerfully each day despite the little Spanish we were able to communicate with. To them, we will be forever grateful!
The group of us ate at Kennedy Baleadas, where the baleadas were tortilla stuffed with eggs, ham, plantains, cheese, avacados, and beans for only 31 lempira ($1.60). They were delicious but rough on the stomach. We also walked around at a vast mall, so far the only safe place we have found to walk. Stacey recommended we eat at El Patio in Boulevard Morazán, so we all rented a taxis and headed to the main street. It was an Honduras styled restaurant which had amazing food and we ate until we couldn't possibly eat anymore. Still haven't been brave enough to venture out with my camera, so no pictures as of yet.
