Woke up at 3:15 am today to catch my 5:45am flight to Atlanta. I fell asleep before the plane even took off (typical). In the Atlanta airport, went right to my gate and met the a couple of other teachers going down to Honduras as well. We finally took off to San Pedro Sulla for our 3 hour flight...it was pretty uneventful up until the very end when I experienced the worst turbulence ever. Seriously it was like a very very very old rickety roller coaster...but basically it got me paranoid and had me gripping my seat very tightly. It finally calmed down and when we landed everybody clapped! It was pretty funny. We went through customs, which literally took about 10 minutes and probably the easiest customs I've ever gone through. Then we all ate lunch...at Wendy's. Yes, my first meal in Honduras was at Wendy's. AND THEN we embarked on the 5 hour bus ride with 18 other teachers in a small, tight bus. Yes, it was very hot and stuffy. Halfway through the trip it started to downpour and all the luggage on the top of the bus got wet so we had to stop and put the rest of everyone's luggage inside the already crowded van. Honduras so far, smells like burnt rubber, animals, and rain. Everyone fell asleep all at the same time, so we got about an hour of sleep before the bumpy roads woke us all up again.
All in all, we finally made it to our hotel in Gracias for the orientation. Sorry if this post is all jumbled and random...I'm a bit exhausted. Can't wait to start my first full day in this country tomorrow!
