I'm officially on Spring Break!! In Central America, the week before Easter (Semana Santa) is a BIG deal. Most people have a vacation and go visit family out of the city or go to the Bay Islands. All of my friends have left by now to travel to other countries: Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Panama. I on the other hand am still in Tegucigalpa, waiting. Gilbert arrives today. I was feeling a little antzy this weekend; I wanted to just pick up and go somewhere spontaneously just for the weekend. We don't have much planned mostly cause I know that he'd rather relax than do something adventurous. I'm looking forward to showing him my everyday life and also introducing him to the Micah boys.
On Sunday, I went to Rio Abajo (right outside the city past the "dump") with the boys. We went to the pool which was vastly different from the pools in the city; the pools in Tegucigalpa are mostly located in the high end hotels. Although the boys kept pushing me in and trying to drown me, I had a fun time.
A little announcement: I've decided not to come to IST next year. I've been wrestling with this decision for awhile but ultimately I think the best thing right now is for me to return home where I have a stable community and where I could better pursue my passions. (Perhaps in a later message I'll expand on this wrestling.) I know that it'll be hard to say goodbye in June...
Hope you all have a blessed Easter.
