My adventure started at 4:30 am getting ready to go the bus station, got to the bus station and it wasnt bad at all I had a waiting room with air and a tv. Got on the bus and off we went speeding down the road. It was a awesome bus ride-air, comfortable seat and a tv...then I had to go to the restroom and it got not so awesome. The bathroom was pretty much a hole in the bottom of the bus and the door gets stuck sometimes but at least there was a door. Three hours fly by and I am in Ceiba waiting for my ride to take me to the small airport here. He gets there in 30 mins and he says I have to take you to my house and I hope to be back in time to take you but if not someone will. Well I was not ready to miss my flight so he left and I caught a taxi. The airport is small but not too bad, I had a Honduran brown paper bag lunch so I was pretty hungry. A few hours went by and it was time to fly in my 19 passenger plane!! It felt just like a roller coaster...it was fun, scary and makes you pray everytime you feel your stomach jump.
        Well this airport is a dirt road with a shack where you pick up your bags and of course one of my bags didnt come on with me. I hop in the rino with Laura and her kids and they take me to House of Hope to drop my stuff. I like the compound and its full of kids playing so it's a perfect place for me!!! But my room is a different story...it's small and not room for my stuff and I share with a girl from the states and a little boy she has taken in as her own and he has CP. I soon find out my roommate has lice after she invites me to sit on her bed for a minute!!! She says everyone gets it and has it until they leave, I said not me and stood up-real fast!!
         We left for Mama Tara's house and the rino ride was another roller coast and I am so glad I started doing roller coasters again at Seaworld so I was prepared but no seatbelt this time...
Mama Tara's house is a very Mosqito ran childrens home so it has no power or clean water and it was nothing I have ever seen. It's one of those moments you thank God for everything he has blessed you with and everything he has protected you from beacuse you are from the states. The one thing I love about these homes is the busy part, I wont be bored!! The thing that worries me is everyone even the volunteers have lice and in the states its like the plague and here its like something you just live with.
         I've now have had more beans and tortillas in the last week than I've had my whole life!! So have pasta and Honduras sause for lunch I was supper excited!!! I start helping build a school house tomorrow and start a schedule of spending time at Mama Tara's so please pray my first real day of Honduran hard work goes well.
