Greetings from Hondras! We fly into Tegucigalpa without a hitch. We were greeted at the airport by the people from CRWRC. They took us to a retreat centre a little ways outside of the city. The ride in the vans was quiet--everyone was too entranced by the views outside of our windows to talk. What did we see? Lots of buildings, houses built upon houses, people everywhere, lots of vibrant colours, stray dogs, more people, crazy traffic, shacks, etc. The ride itself was quite an adventure--lots of near misses (or so it seemed to us inexpereinced drivers).
At the retreat centre we had our first orientation session. A professor from the university in Tegucigalpa taught us about Honduras history, culture, and the Central American Free Trade Agreement.
Today we went to a park and now are downtown. We have more orientation this afternoon and tomorrow morning we leave for our village. We found out that our village has been waiting for 10 years for this water project--what a gift that we get to be involved in it.
This is our last post until we leave our villages. I´m sure we´ll have lots to share then.
Julianne and Jon
