North Coast!!!
I found out my site!! I will be living in a Garifuna community on the North Coast (Caribbean), in a town called Tornabe. It's about 15 minutes from Tela, which is a pretty touristy beach town. My site has about 3,000 people, of which 95% are Garifuna. The Garifuna are an Afro-Caribbean ethnic group here in Honduras, so I will stick out like a sore thumb moreso than I would anywhere else. However, I could not be any happier about this site. There will be a lot of challenges with this particular site...my project directer was hesitant to place me there (I am one of only a few other volunteers in Garifuna sites)...but I will get into these details later. On Thursday, I will be traveling there for the 1st time, so I'll give a big update with some pictures hopefully later on this weekend.

Hi Anna - My husband Mike and I were Hondu 5 and lived in Tela. I miss it so much, and we just left a couple of months ago! ENJOY the north coast and feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
hey anna,
looks like you´ve got a good set up in honduras near the coast. the caribbean is dope. i was in honduras a few weeks ago, but i was traveling like a bat out of hell trying to get to guatemala for my friends flight, so sorry for not getting in contact. spent one night in teguc and a day in copan ruinas. im more sedentary now, hanging out in el salvador. i hear the diving off the north coast is spectacular. suerte!
