3 weeks!

It’s our 3 week anniversary (but who’s counting?)! It does feel significant that we have been on a remote island that is extremely different than our home, for almost a month.

I start work next week and I am actually looking forward to it; plus a bit nervous. I still really have no idea what I am teaching and there has been very little contact from the school.

Lucia has been sick for the past 2 days with an ear infection and stomach pains. We took her to a clinic today that is part of a diving center and they saw us in 20 minutes and were able to give us an antibiotic, all for a price of $50 dollars. Lucia started feeling better yesterday but her ear has been in a lot of pain for 2-3 days.

We decided not to take a trip to Copan on the main land of Honduras. It would have been an 8 hour travel day and seemed too much to do. So, we will end our summer vacation (mine anyway) doing tourist things around the island: an adventure park with zip-lines and animals, a trip to the iguana farm, and if Lucia feels up for it, a snorkel tour around the island on a boat.

We miss home and our friends and family, though our new life here is starting to feel more and more like home.

Love,

Dan
