Random pics, etc

I was looking through my friend´s website and discovered some pics that I thought I´d share. By the way, if you google ´Peace Corps Honduras blogs´and go to the link that says Worldwide Peace Corps journals, (or something like that), you will get a list of a lot of blogs of volunteers here in Honduras, including many from my training class. I think it´s pretty cool to check out every once in a while, so I thought I´d mention it.

Here is a picture of our group...49 people as of swearing-in (although it´s down to 48 now). I´m in the back left-hand corner.


This is a picture of some friends and I the evening of swearing-in. We had a competition of sorts between each project of Hondu 10 (what the Peace Corps calls our training group). The health group (my project) beat both the Water and Sanitation and Business groups that have been going through training with us. I won´t reveal the game, but it did include all of us health girls wearing side-ponytails, as you can see in the picture.


And here is a photo of a giant tub of spaghetti that my friend Aaron and I made for our going-away party from La Paz (our last training site). The two of us made spaghetti for about 100 people...and after what felt like 3rd degree burns, 35 boxes of pasta, and steaming facials of pasta water, we fed everyone and had half the vat o´spaghetti left over. It was quite the ordeal.




Now on to pics from my site. The other day I was relaxing in my hammock when I heard some kids talking about me from behind the corner of a house. All of a sudden about 20 of them came out with various (homemade) instruments and put on a little show for me. I don´t know if you can tell, but the kid with the missing patches of hair (anyone know what that might be from? It´s not fleas...) is one of my favorites. Everyone calls him mulatto because he is mixed...in fact it took me several weeks to find out his real name. Anyway, here they are:
