Last week at both my work places was pretty easy. Not much to do in the office as per and it was like end of term in the school because of semana santa.
Last wednesday evening I met up with a couple of other volunteers at the mall who I havn't actually seen or spoken to since the spanish classes finished at the beginning of February. The main reason for that being language and how we didnt have a common one. So it was extremely difficult to comminucate. However now we can talk just fine in Spanish which is pretty cool when you think about it. One of them even has a Honduran boyfriend.
Unfortunatly I found out that one of the volunteers from France had to return last week because her Grandad is sick. She has left her things in Honduras though so she obviously plans to come back and finish her project when she can.
Later that night when I got home Carlota asked me 'why have you got spots Kat?', 'You've been eating chocolate havn't you?' then there was a moment of silence where I was like 'oh busted!' then we both burst out laughing! It's true I have now officially finished the chocolate that Dave sent me, a fact which apparently had not gone unoticed! haha classic!
Last thursday I arrived at the school to find out we were going on a trip to the swimming pool, shame that I didnt know in advance but that is Honduran life. Although I did have a really great day with the kids I was a bit annoyed at what happened. Almost everyone pushed off to the swimming pool and it was just me and one other volunteer left to look after 2 blind children, 2 blind teachers and the food (there were dogs). Sometimes it seems that people dont care as much as you might think they should which is a shame.
I had a long rather confusing chat with the bus driver who was in the police. I think he was a bit disappointed to find out I had a boyfriend but everyone knows i am afraid of men in uniform especially when they are armed, so it would never have worked out! However I did get a lift back home in the bus, rather strange being in a huge bus with just three people!
On Sunday I went to Marcala with Gorkiana (who works with Carlota) and her family. We went to this park that had beautiful natural waterfalls and pools to bathe in. i didnt go swimming but I I had a really fun day and took lots of photos.
The last two days I have spent swimming and resting and eating (as you know I am on holiday this week!) and its generally been really relaxing. Carlota only let me swim in the morning and afternoon though because of the sun! Bless! I think my birth mother also appreciates this fact!
I dont really know what the rest of the week holds so I will just wait and see. Hopefully there will be an internet shaped light at the end of the weekly tunnel!
