Pday! Whoo! Quote of the day: "Los amigos son como las estrellas, no siempre hablas con
ellas, pero tu sabes que siempre estan alli." or "Friends are like
the stars, you don't always talk to them, but you know that they're always
there." Very true, as I have a
limited window of communication, but I know you guys are there. Love ya!
Had a chill day, washed clothes for about 2 hours, then when
they were mostly dry I sprayed them with permethrin, so hopefully that will
help protect me from all the icky zancudos (mosquitoes). Gotta love Honduras , right?
But, good news, I bought a bag of lychee! Whoohoo! They go
for 1 lemp each, or a bag for 20 lemps and you get more like 26 or so, thought
that was a better deal. So I brought them home and washed them and now I'm
enjoying eating lychee. Also bought a ton of fruits and veggies (including the
lychee) for about 80 lemps, or roughly $4, so that's pretty neat. I tell
everyone about price conversions, and that everything really is very expensive
in the states. They couldn't believe that $4 wouldn't get you half of what I
bought. And apparently it's all much cheaper in Guatemala as well.

I also made some chamomile tea from a bunch of chamomile (now
that I'm writing from back to the future, that may have been what set me off on
my gripe thing, will do further investigation on the subject), like, here's a
chamomile plant, you dry it out, and then boil it in the water to make tea. Add
sugar, and drink! It tasted fantastic, kinda fun to use whole chamomile instead
of the little tea bags. Definitely tasted like chamomile. It's interesting to
learn all the plant names in Spanish, I've been hearing about "manzanilla"
since I got to Honduras ,
and recently figured out that it meant the chamomile plant because Hna Rosas
bought some manzanilla eye-drops or something and there was a picture of
chamomile. The tea episode also confirmed the fact. I know most of the spices
in Spanish, and basic fruits and veggies, so I'm learning! Also cooking terms
are important to know as well. Basically I just gotta learn Spanish.

But I gotta make sure that I plant myself a little garden in
the future, and grow some chamomile, basil, mint and lavender, along with some
other plants, but I like to use those guys primarily, so I look forward to that
day!
And most women here have really long fingernails that they all take care of, most people actually had short fingernails over in SPS. They're rarely painted here, but all the women have their long fingernails. Some of the guys just has the thumb or pinky long.
