Teguc

So I went to the capital to this weekend. It is called Tegucigalpa. It is a very civilized city and it is located in a valley. It is much cooler there. We went to the mall and I bought a prepaid cell phone for 25 bucks. If you ever feel the desire to call me or text me, you can reach me at
011 504 98252680. This is my cell number. So nobody follows the traffic signs or anything. They go through stop signs and traffic lights because there are barely any cops around. My roommate Jessica, introduced me to her friend Lalo. His real name is Lissandro. Every person has a nickname here. It is crazy. Anyway, Lalo is a very nice guy and he is the one that built our house. It is building a mini complex with fourteen houses and two apartment buildings and a pool. The houses are mini condos with 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, kitchen, backyard, and livingroom. It also has a driveway. I think he took the idea from the states. But they are really nice and right now his sister's house and my house are the only one's occupied. They are two story houses. They also have a room outside if you wanted a little trabajadora or worker to live there with you. The worker has his/her own bathroom. It is beautiful sight from the front. Lovely little construction trucks and dirt everywhere and men working everyday from 7-4 drilling away. It is beautiful. My room is in the back and i have a simple sight of the mountain tops and palm trees, banana plants, and cute little rooftops. Lalo is very well off. He is only 25 and he is a civic engineer. The houses go for 74,000 USD. That is a lot of money here. He has already sold six houses. The whole complex should be done in a year says Lalo but honduran terms might be two years. We need to put barb wire around our backyard because I am afraid someone might jump over the wall and go through our backdoor. Lalo also has a house in Teguc where it is a gated community and the President of Honduras lives in the same community. He showed us the house.

Anyway, Teguc was nice and I know you thought that I would be living in a little hut but I actually don't. I have running water for the most part. The power goes out a lot so that will turn off the water as well. It is a risk that you take. We went to Price Smart. It is like a costco. Literally. I bought some stuff in bulk becuase it is cheaper than buying it at the little store every week. Teguc even has an Applebees and a Friday's. I did not go there. I went to TACO LOCO instead and they are not like the tacos at Taco Bell. The food is good here but I only eat once a day because my belly is dying. I will try and eat more once I get used to the food. We took a bus back to Juticalpa and they say that the bus leaves at 5pm but you have to be there at 4pm because if they sell out after 4pm then they just leave. So I guess the busses really leave at 4pm. A little strange don't you think. Also, we paid for the cable to be installed but they haven't installed it yet. I don't think we will get it until next month. They are so slow here. Restaurants like El Rancho take forever. You order food and you get it like 30-45 minutes later. The whole place is outside and they have little bands come in and play for money. La Ranchera is the type music that they play here. They look kind of like Mariachi bands but it is a little different.

Well I said too much. I love you guys!
