Hi everyone, I made it here safe in Honduras. This is a beautiful and tranquil place. My group flew into San Pedro Sula yesterday and I immediately had to start taking off layers of cloths. It is humid but there is a little breeze. The 5 hour bus ride was an adventure. I dont recall seeing a single speed limit sign. People were passing on blind corners with a yellow line. The country side was beautiful. I got to see a lot of little towns along the side of the road. I was able to take some pictures and I'll post them soon.
My host family is wonderful. They seem like a great crew. I am in a nice room in the front of the house. There are two boys and a girl. I dont think there is a father because I havent seen him and senora mentioned something about tourismos. So if he is active in the family I think he might be afar. Well, my four years of high school spanish was not in vein. I would not have survived with any dignity intact last night if I were without it. I am quite blessed with the family I have been placed with. I was given tortillas con queso -sort of like a cheesy tortilla- and I loved it.
My training classes went fine too. Everyone seems open and willing to help. We were given the general introduction. During lunch I was able to steal a language trainer who helped me with my speaking. Learning the language is my number one goal and I'm trying my best.
It's time for dinner so I need to go. I am at an internet cafe right across the road from my house. So I will definitely be able to keep in touch. I'll talk to all of you soon!

I enjoy your posts and look forward to more of them. As an IT guy myself, I am also interested in what you will do to help the folks there. Later,
