It´s been awhile!

I haven´t posted in a while! There is so much I could say! First of all i will start with telling you about our first excursion. We decided that it was time to get out of the city and go see something green. We decided last Wednesday that on Friday we were going to go to this national park that we found in the lonely planet book. So on friday we met at school and then walked to the bus station. The bus station is quite ghetto and is basically a table with a man sitting there who sells you tickets. Then you get into a bus, which is quite sketchy and head off. We got let off at a town called La Guama and it was dark. We had forgotten the lonely planet book so we were getting a little scared about where we were going to find a ride to take us up the hill to the national park. But God always provides. As soon as we got off there was a van that was going up the hill so we all piled in and they took us to the entrance of the national park. We then were expecting to have rooms to stay in but they said that they were full. Uh Oh, It´s pouring down rain and we just traveled to get here. Luckily they had a big conference style room that had 20 bunk beds. THey gave us a cheaper price and we stayed there. It was awesome. All around us was jungle and beautiful green trees and plants. THe next day we got up and started on our hike up the mountain., We hiked for 5 hours and stopped along the way to get in waterfalls. The water was crystal clear and we had a blast. Our little vacation only cost us $15.00. You can travel super cheap here! It was so good for us to get away from Comayagua for awhile. We can´t wait to go on our next adventure!! Please keep praying for us, we have our first parent teacher conferences on Friday., We are all scrambling to get our grades done!! Which by the way we have grade books in Spanish and basically they didnt´give us any instruction... So i made it up! =)
