Heading South

Well, it's 3:06am and I'm just waiting to leave for the airport to head back to Honduras. I feel so mixed about going back. I know that once I get there, I'll be happy to see my friends and get back to the mountains... but I have really, really loved my time at home. I love being close to my family and spending time with them. I adore my puppy. I like seeing old friends. I love the comforts of home... things like my huge bed, central heating, fast internet, strong water pressure, drinking from the tap, and not washing my vegetables in bleach, just to name a few things. It's hard to leave- the two weeks went by so quickly that I didn't nearly have time to do everything I wanted to do.

That being said, I am super excited to get out of this cold weather! I am no longer a fan of the freezing cold midwest winters, and I'm anxious to get back to the lovely weather in Honduras. I really appreciate and am looking forward to slowing down...the pace of life in Honduras is so much slower than life in the US. I'm happy to get away from the television and back to nature. I'm excited to see my neighbors and my friends. I am looking forward to speaking spanish and eating baleadas. And I am so, so excited to see my little students.

I have mixed feelings, for sure. But regardless, I am heading to the airport and will be in Honduras by this afternoon! I have six months left in this adventure, and I think those six months are going to be amazing.

I am posting a couple of pictures of my students that I took before Christmas. I received a camera over break, so I will be able to post more soon!
