Giga Almendra

It's funny how by this time last year I had already taken hundreds of pictures of our time in Honduras. So far I have taken one picture, the one you see below.

Ben eating a Giga Almendra, (our favorite ice cream bar in Honduras. Only costs 90 U.S. cents!) while talking to Katie.


I guess the newness of this experience has worn off. Being here is no longer new, but rather normal and very much a routine. Sure, unexpected things still happen here in Tegucigalpa, I guess we are just not shocked or surprised by them anymore. Being in a WAY better apartment also helps a ton, we LOVE our new place. It is currently raining, and Ben just brought up to my attention that at our old apartment even the lightest rain sounded like a storm, due to our tin roof and styrofoam ceiling. Here, in Palma Real (the name of the gated community where we live), the rain is pretty much inaudible.

Abby lives one street away, we have gone on two walks together, but I have been rather lazy lately and have preferred to take a nap after school instead of getting up and moving. The plan this year is for us to go swimming everyday, but we are waiting for our car in order for that to happen, which should be any day now!! Having a car will change our lives here and we cannot wait!

PREGNANCY UPDATE:

-We found a gynecologist at the Honduras Medical Center. He is a sweet old man who has delivered thousands of babies. So I feel I am in good hands.

-He said I am only allowed to gain 12 pounds TOTAL! haha (we'll see how that goes)

-Thankfully I have not felt super sick nor thrown up! I am just exhausted all day long, and I take a nap as soon as I come home from school.
