I have arrived

Yesterday, after two short flights and an easy layover in Miami, I touched down in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. I was greeted by an exuberant Mary running at me outside the teeny little airport between the drivers asking me, "Taxi? Taxi?" Okay, so here's the thing about Honduras: it's HOT. I mean. SO HOT (and apparently it was the cool part of the day). I know I live in the mountains and am a pansy about the heat, but man... Its sticky. One stays sticky constantly. The good news is: no hot water in our bathroom, so thats a relief. Jorge and Tara are the "grown ups" in my house and they have two kids and one on the way! I think Tara is probably supermom. She and Jorge are 31 and 35 respectively (Tara is American, Jorge is Honduran) and the kids Trinity and Josef are 9 and 2. They are adorable. The family is wonderful, and our house is great too. Pretty big and in a safe neighborhood - Colonia Tara is what it's called I think. Anyway we ended up getting free tickets to a movie last night (We Bought a Zoo, in English, Yay!) and I had a whirlwind introduction into the craziness of Honduras. The traffic is absolutely unreal - no one follows any kind of rules. But there are all sorts of weird ones that people are supposed to know. Who knows what today holds? It's all a very exciting start to a new adventure...
