Hello to all of my loyal readers. This will be my last blog about/related to Honduras. I officially ended my Peace Corps service of two YEARS Thursday, April 14th. I absolutely cannot believe I have made it this far without a) leaving early b) punching a cat-calling Honduran man in the face, thus sending me [...]

I have proof that I am working! Check out the video I posted on thirdgoal.org. The website is for current and former PC volunteers to post articles, photos, and videos of their experiences to share with folks back home. http://www.thirdgoal.org/video/view/how-an-eco-justa-stove-works I just found out today that my video won for the week, so I get [...]

With my pilas behind me, I enthusiastically charged into the campo this week to implement phase 2 of my project. . . . and then Honduran work ethic got in the way. Monday: Plan on leaving for the campo. Tito calls and says that fijese que he is busy until tomorrow. Tuesday: Plan on leaving [...]

I told you my next blog would be work related, so it will be informative and not too funny or sarcastic. I have been hard at work *cough* the past month getting this project up and running. Thanks to my awesome community partner, Tito, it has been a success. Turns out he knows more that [...]

I’d like to first apologize to my devout readers (all 4 of you) for my absence the past few months. My computer has been out of commission for quite some time, which required me to, 1)  leave my apartment and actually go to my office, 2) try to convince out-of-office coworkers to let me use [...]

Happy Independence day to my beautiful, clean, efficient nation! I hope you all are celebrating with good beer, burgers, bacon, bratwurst, potato salad, watermelon, and of course, fireworks. Of course, Hondurans don’t need an excuse for fireworks, and today was the only day that I was actually grateful to hear them exploding in the morning. [...]

Is it possible to be bitten/stung by 6 different insects in one day? Why yes! Just come to Honduras and traipse around the jungle for the day. Hannah and I, once again, took to the forest to complete a topographic study for a potential agua potable project. After getting fijese qued on Monday, we headed [...]

If there is a hell, then this is it. I mean, the only way doing laundry could be worse here was if someone were to blast rachera music while I was doing it, which sometimes happens. So I’d thought I’d share with you how I do my laundry so you folks at home can be [...]

So yes, I know it has been a very long time (again) since I have written a blog. Fortunately, I have been in contact with the only person who reads it (my mom), since the last entry. To be honest, I have been waiting for something spectacular (read: positive and exciting) to write about. But then [...]

Hace mucho tiempo que he escrito algo. Sorry, it’s been along time. And I would like to say I have been very busy with work and saving the world, but that really isn’t the case. I was pretty much a bum the whole month of December. Partly my fault, partly baby Jesus’s fault too. The [...]

As you can see in the pics I’ve posted, the World Map is almost done! After a grueling day of erasing pencil gridline with teeny tiny erasers, my sitemate Bryan and I came to the conclusion that we would have to finish next week. Question: If you were making a world map, would you want [...]

Baking success! And disaster! Where I last left you, I was preparing a baking “class” with my sitemate Kristina for a local women’s support group run by another PCV. We traveled up to day before, as bus access was limited and met with the women the night before to plan the next day. Here in [...]

October and then some. . . So after my epic vacation in Utila, I had a week or so before my mom came, which equates to 1 week of work done in the month of October. However, I would like to point out that by my mom visiting, I was working on goal #3 of the [...]
