Independence Day in Honduras

Lucia:  My tooth is growing in! I miss you a lot. How is school going for you? School is great for me. Yesterday are school went marching for independence day which is when the Honduras became free from the British who had made them their servants. We get to march we all are carrying big and little flags and posters too. The roads are closed because of marching. each school has different clothes that you have to wear. At our school we have to wear blue jeans and we all ordered shirts that said sbas on the front of the shirts which stands for Sandy bay Alternative School. At our school we have the pre-k and kinder pom-pom girls that carry pom-poms and go in front of everyone in line. We also have little boys and girls that show jobs of and they go in the front too. We have miss roatan and four other places that became free from the British too. We have miss independence and mr. independence too. They both stand in the front also. We have the older kids that hold the flags. We also have a band that goes after the flags. One of the flags is our flag! Yesterday after the march we did not have school and now we have five days off of school because we had the marching day and then Saturday then Sunday then on Monday we do not have school because it is independence day and then we do not have school because it is teachers day. The next two days we have school and then on Friday my class is going on a field trip to see the dolphin show. After we did the marching we had a water fight with icy cold water. What we did was we got the bottles that had the water in them but we drank all of the water and filled them full of water and then dumped icy cold water on people. I kept dumping water on marinos friend named Sebastion and he kept dumping cold water on me. By the end we were all soaked, especially  me. We all had a lot of fun. Again, I miss you a lot.

Love,

Lucia   

P.S I hope that you have a good time. It is hot and rainy which means there are a lot of bugs and I have a lot of bug bites all over me. Good-bye
