Real World Gracias

So I have made it safely to the town of Gracias Lempira. There were definitely times during the 5 1/2 hour drive from San Pedro Sula to Gracias where I thought I was going to die. Imagine if you will very poorly paved 2 lane road with maniac drivers and pouring down rain with a thunder and lightening storm. Imagine your eyes closed attempting to rest when the driver slams on his breaks and then swerves to miss a pot hole. Mom and Dad I love you dearly but you will most likely not survive such a trip. The house we are living in is absolutely beautiful and also will include 8 girls living in it.... enough said. So far the girls have been great and we have been doing some major bonding. Food so far is great, loving those baleadas and cafe con leche yumm yumm. I would love to tell you about mototaxisn but no words can explain...you will have to wait for a video on that one. The men here love us american girls. We definitely get a lot of stares but everyone has been friendly (the kids are adorable!) We start work sort of on the 15th but for reals on the 29th....might be planning a beach trip with the roomies. There are a lot of bugs here...cockroaches, beetles, wasps, bees (got bit today :( so lucky I am not allergic!) Also, a lot of wildlife like wild dogs, horses, lizards, chickens, stray cats here and roaming the town. If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask.. I am really not sure what else to write.
