Hey Everyone,
I finally have an internet connection! It may or may not last. . . so I will update you quickly.
I love it here.
I knew when I signed up to come, or better put, when I was fortunate enough to come here that I would find myself outside of my comfort zone at times. But that is precisely what I wanted, at some level. : ) Hoping and praying that I would be a trooper, I was tested upon arrival at the Tegucigalpa airport, one of the known most dangerous landing strips in the world. We had to circle the airport for an hour until it dried because it was pouring rain which made a wet and short landing strip in Teguc unsafe.
We ended up being able to land there and the pilot was fabulous in his ability to communicate with us in a lighthearted way about the dangers of this particular landing.
Landing and stopping quickly felt something like a ride at an amusement park. We all clapped and affirmed the pilots for being extra skilled. (Only pilots with extra certification are allowed to land planes in Tegucigalpa.)
Today was a great day, but I am tired. I will be back soon. I hope.
