Hola! Buenos Dias!
We made it!
We had to get up at 3:30 yesterday morning for a 6 am flight to Atlanta. We switched in Atlanta and flew to San Pedro Sula. Several people´s bags didn not make it.....but luckily ours did.
We piled into 3 vans - 2 with people and one with all our bags and drove 1.5 hours to Tela. Scott sat in the front of the van with Al driving and a police escort to his right. Pretty cool.
The scenery was beautiful. Mountains in the distance and lots of poverty. Horses and cows were tied up on very short lines on both sides of the road. The landscape is lush so there is plenty of grass for them to eat...if they can find it through all the garbage. There is garbage everywhere! It seems like people just throw it out anywhere.
There were also lots of people (including children) riding bikes on the road in every direction.
Oh did I mention is is HOT HOT HOT!
We arrived in Tela about 3, got our bags sorted and got to our room. We were psyched to see that there was AC and after thinking there was a computer on the desk Scott finally realized it was a TV. Lots of American TV shows on - either dubbed or with Spanish subtitles.
Oh did I mention we can not understand a thing!!!!! We both decided we have to learn how to speak Spanish for when we come back next year.
We had drinks and dinner on the hotel veranda which is right on the beach. When you step off the veranda you are on the sand and then it´s about a 35 second walk until your feet are in the ocean. We took some pretty cool pictures last night but we can´t upload any pictures. We´re still trying to find a way......I brought my laptop with high hopes....
We are off to have dinner right now so will will write again later and give you the details on what we did today.
Hasta luego!
(I have no clue if that is spelled correctly)
p.s. all the prompts on this site as I write this are all in Spanish.
p.p.s. ask Scott when he gets back how he remembers the word GRACIAS!

yeah! We were all at the Field House today in pilates and later for soccer and the buzz was ... has anyone checked your blog .... which of course I had all day long so I am so so excited that you were able to finally write.
Mark said your phone works a little bit ... so are you using your blackberry to write your blog or a computer?
I wonder why you can't upload photos but I have no doubt that you are taking lot of photos.
Stay safe! --Michelle
Dear Scott,
It's snowing in VT, and it's the good kind! You must be really tired. Synergy won last night and guess who they played.... me. synergy had 7 points and we had 2 and one of our goals was scored by Jackson kahn and the other by Oscar. Conner was greatin goal! Enjoy your time there!

Dear Jack,
Thanks for checking into our blog. Yeah I am tired but got a better night sleep last night. Today is our first work day and we are going to paint a school. It´s in the middle on no where and I think we are going to be pretty hot. We have to work until 4 and then I plan on going to the beach.
from your best friend Scott
Dear Scott,
Painting a school! what color? White? We played a new game kind of like dodgeball but there were mats set up that you could hide behind and the jail was on the side of the gym. It's called Bunker Hill. we got a couple snow flurys today but nothing much it was powder though. We have a low of -5 degrees tonight. I can't wait for you to get back!
Your best friend,
Jack Reynolds
