Also Important!

I can't believe I forgot to mention this:

My 27 when I'm 27 goals:

13. Learn to Scuba Dive

I can officially check that one off the list! Wahoo!

Boooo

Sadly, my two weeks of vacation are quickly coming to an end. Tomorrow morning I hop on a bus back to Santa Lucia.

Our trip is ending with a weekend in Copan Ruinas. Jill will be staying here for the next month to take Spanish classes.

I'm not going to lie, I am a bit jealous that she is staying here:
For one, I absolutely love taking Spanish classes when I'm in a Spanish speaking country, and I would happily sign up for a month of language classes.
Second, Copan is a great little town, and they have lots of the little things that you can't find in Santa Lucia. They even have yogurt in the stores!It is the little things.

That being said, I am really excited to get back to Santa Lucia, and get back to my projects. That has to be a good sign right? That I am actually looking forward to going back to work.

All in all, life is good. Really good.

Paradise Found!

I honestly didn't think life could get much better after a week of learning to scuba dive on Utila... Then we made it to Trujillo!

For Jill's Birthday we are staying at Banana Beach Resort for two night. The surprise was that we are literally the only people staying here.

Our life for the past two days has consisted of picking between this:

The amazing pool we had all to ourselves

or this:

The white sand beach we had all to ourselves

It has been really rough.

The best part is that they have an on-site bar and restaurant that makes amazing cinnamon rolls! Are you kidding me? Cinnamon rolls in Honduras!

There may be tears when we have to leave!

Gloating.

Just to rub it in a bit...

Utila

This is where I am.

From zero to sixty and back again

Life last week went from very relaxed and laid back, to very very busy.

For one, I have started the graduate school application process. Not. Fun.

On top of that, through a visit from two of our board members last week, I ended up with three new projects on my lap. I'm so so excited about them, but it is going to keep me really busy for the next few months. (More on the details later)

Luckily, all of this crazy busyness has been interrupted by a two week, beach vacation with Jill. In the coming days I will be getting scuba certified and hopefully very very tan. Rough life kids. Very, very rough life.

Thing One and Thing Two

This week, two things were not working at the clinic for very unexpected reasons:

Thing One: The oven. Why? There was a rat that had died inside and was somehow preventing the oven from turning on.

Thing Two: The internet. Why? A tree had started growing in front of our satellite. The tree is not ours, so we have to get special permission to chop the branch down.

Well, of course! Silly me! Why did I not think of that?
