Cosas que he aprendido en una semana/Things I have learned in one week

-the sidewalks are stained with grapes that look like a beautiful mosaic but ruin your shoes
-at 8:00ish every night we go to the second floor of the house to watch tv. We don't go down to the first floor after that again.
-We watch Dolls of the Mafia every night.
-I play Memory at least 8 times every day.
-Walk quickly and look like you know where you are going (which I never do)
-The bathroom light probably won't work, so just do your thing in the dark quickly and then leave.
-It's hot.
-It rains almost every night which makes for good sleeping conditions, although you can count on hearing at least 8 dogs barking choruses all night long.
-Roosters start crowing around 4:30 am and don't stop until around 7:30 am
-The neighbors are never quiet
-One side of the family cousins are calm and fun. The other side is a crazy wild mess of 2 boys running around screaming.
-I taught my little sister how to "draw" and now she never stops. Draw draw draw!
-My brother loves to show off how smart he is and loves to help me with homework
-My host mom's friend is living in the house. I don't know why or for how long, but she is a lot of fun and is extremely dramatic.
-Yaqui is open and honest about everything. Yesterday she asked me why I had a zit on my face. I told her that I don't know, and she told me that I couldn't eat chocolate anymore because it is bad for your skin.
-Eat everything.
-Don't talk about butterflies. Yaqui doesn't like them.
-When someone says we are going to climb a little mountain, it means a big mountain.
-8:30 is actually 8:40/8:50 in Honduran time.
-There are always some kind of small bug crawling in the house, and sometimes ants. We just seem to watch them crawl everywhere and nobody wants to kill them or put them outside.
-If you have a chance to use a bathroom, use it because there might not be another one.
-If you live with Yaqui, be organized. If you aren't organized, don't live here :)
-It's hot.
-No matter how many times I try to teach my little sister how to count in english, the first number is always five, not one because that is what the tele told her. :)
-Learn how to find the quiet among all of the chaos.
-The mountains are beautiful every day and every day they change.
-Always bring an umbrella, for the rain and for the sun.
-It's really hot.
-I have never seen such beautiful clouds that are always changing. One minute they are white and puffy and the next they are black and stormy.
-My brother and sister are called by their middle names, not their first names. (Andrés and Jimena instead of Walter and Andrea)
-It's dangerous here, but get over it. Find the beauty behind the danger.

The pictures here are of the hike we took up the "little" mountain to visit the people who live in the rural zones. One foto is of the "road" that does not function as a road because the people cannot carry supplies up the twists, turns, and ruts. Also when it rains it becomes very muddy and slippery so that it is even difficult for motos to go on the road. The other picture is of me with the mountains (although that's pretty obvious) :)
