A Journey in the Mayan Ruins

As usual we started class at 9:00 in the morning, but that does not describe the time we awoke. For breakfast we had fruits and juice and the fruits was very good it´s better than the fruit in the USA. After that we had our two hour class and i learned alot of more things about spanish. After class we went to eat with our host family and we ate some noodles with chicken and some vegetables. After that we went to our room and had a lil nap because in Honduras it is so hotttt! About 1:30 we all came to the school to began our journey to the mayan ruins. I was very tired and the sun was beaming as usual. we rode in a motor taxi because the trip there would have taken a long time if we would have walked. When we arrived we had our own personal tour guide name Mauricio, he was an excellent tour guide because he explained everything to us in English....! Not only was he a good tour guide but he also swore in Germany....lol....! The Mayan Ruins was very beautiful to me and I really liked it, the history was very amazing too. There were some ruins where we could climb and we took pictures climbing the ruins and havin fun.When the tour was over i was so hungry that i thought about hamburgers the rest of the way so one of our sponsers Sanja took us on a very good walk. We went to this excellent restarunt and the food so good.

Later that night we were to watch a movie at the school, but it was raining very hard so we were to walk to the boys house to watch a movie at 7:30, before we left the lights went off everywhere in the town and we had to light our candle in our room for light. The rain was coming down hard and me and alexia had to walk up to the store to eat dinner for the night, we was so tickled by how hard it rained because we had to get really wet and our host mom was with us also. When we went to watch the movie we met my teacher (karla) son who is very cute and active. He hit us with pillows all night but we had fun playing with him. Afterwards it was time for us to go home because we had to do our homework. The boys walked us home and they got wet too becuase the rain was pouring down really hard.


well let me just say that everyday is a challenging day for me because i have never experienced much and i really enjoy the things we do even when im scared and screaming!


¡Adios!
