The calm before the storm...

School is about to start on Tuesday, the 1st of September. Therefore, I wanted to get one more blog in before the chaos starts. We have had some interesting run-ins with animals while in Honduras. Cows wander the streets here like its nobody's business, and occasionally they wander into places they shouldn't be. Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the cow who wandered into Destino, but I do have a picture of the ones that like to graze outside our gate. This one wasn't thrilled that I was taking its picture.



Next, we heard some commotion one afternoon during the teacher's training. A few boys had brought a burlap bag with something in it to the school that was causing all the women to scream. When I went to check it out, this is what I found:



Yes, it is a boa Constrictor, about six feet long. It was found eating the eggs in the Destino hen house. Don't ask me how they got it in that burlap bag. Here's a couple more shots of it.





There's nothing strange about these guys, but I wanted to put a picture of our doggies on here. Their names are Pebbles and Patches.



On a different note, we have been attending a bilingual church called Grace Life. In this picture, we only arrived 15 minutes early, and the pastor himself was just getting there. As you can see, we are the only ones accustomed to being early.



And one with the other American teachers:



Well, I think that's all for now. Hopefully I'll be able to show you pictures of some of my students next time. Love you all!
