Inching

I'm inching toward my departure for home! I have mixed feelings but mostly I just feel excited to see family and friends for a while. I usually find upon returning to America that all the things they warn you about concerning "culture shock" are the most potent when you've been living in a low-maintenance culture (like Honduras) and return to the States for a while. But-that's the nature of traveling, I suppose.

It's a beautiful day today. Sunny and breezy. Certainly not typical December weather but beautiful, nonetheless.

This weekend I enjoyed a trip to La Ceiba to see the San Pedro Sula Chamber Orchestra play a Christmas set. They played The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, and some stuff by Piazolla, and Andrea Bocelli. It was really pretty and very well done. Definitely a talented group.

I'm looking forward to my last week before Christmas break. We have some Christmas events going on. I also plan on taking the bus out to Rio Esteban at some point to hang out with a friend, Delmy. She's in my English class and we've always kind of hit it off. Fun stuff!

Hasta luego
