ghettolicious

Here's a short summary of my week in Tegucigalpa:
-10 lempira piƱa coladas
-6 layer carrot cake
-X-Men 3
-Met the ambassador at a cocktail party
-Eating Swedish meatballs at said party
-Subway sandwiches
-Lots of English (which isn't so sweet anymore)
-Too much Peace Corps gossip
-Eaten alive by mosquitos at the Guat 2 (the "lovely" hotel in Teguc)
-A 3 1/2 hour true directo to San Pedro from Teguc (nothing short of a miracle)
-Getting ripped off by the Embassy for my "per diem"...yes, I'm a volunteer but Tegucigalpa is expensive
-The search for Shakira's CD in English (a failure)
-Almost switching a TV at the Guat 2 with my friend Delfo (Johnny Depp) to get channel 98
That's all I've got. I'm in Santa Rosa wired on too much coffee and ready to go back home.
