We've arrived!

We arrived on Friday evening after a long day of travelling. On the flight over from London to Houston I had the experience of being a trolly dolly/ (welsh) wagon dragon with Flight Master Jim who was a complete legend!
We were picked up from the airport by Jake and Rachel, two americans who work for Vida Abundante, and they took us to a hotel in San Pedro Sula for us to get some sleep!
In the morning we went to buy some water, with a grand total of 20 Lempiras, which is about 70p and came back with 5 bags of water AND CHANGE, which is slightly crazy, before the long drive to Gracias in Jake's pick up truck, with four of us girls in the back and bags, which was...interesting to say the least!
While in Gracias we're staying at a beautiful hotel called Hotel Guancastos, which is where you should all send letters too if you want to contact us :)

Today, so..sunday? (I have to keep checking) we went to a town called La Campa, and we took a Canopy Tour, and canopy is definitely the word to describe it! It was insanely amazing, and made better by the fact that there were 6 jumps, which cost us 500 Lempiras each, which, when you work it out costs £3 a jump! The prices here are ridiculous and will definitely take some getting used too, however none of us are complaining!

For anyone who wants to contact me, we're here in Gracias until friday (9th) and the hotel has a great internet connection, so just let me know if you want a chat! After that we will go with the other American teachers (who arrive in Gracias tomorrow for training) to our project in La Union!

The most important thing to mention of course is food, and so far, we have no complaints! Even the bananas are going down well, and my family will understand how big of a deal that is!

Over and out for now!
