Homesick?? I think not.

This week has been quite the experience for me already. I have traveled to many places but never to central American and never without knowing someone traveling with me. I was a little nervous about coming at first but the nervousness has rapidly disappeared. Upon arriving, I collected my luggage and we headed to the mall in Tegucigalp to eat. Holman who is our driver for the trip drove the interns that arrived to the mall. At the mall, I saw a Wendy´s and decided to eat there. Ordering proved to be quite difficult because I´m not up to par on my Espanol quite yet. I received a little assistance and proceeded to eat my hamburger. We went back to the airport to wait on the rest of the interns to arrive. After they made it through all the procedures of coming into a foreign country, we loaded up and began our three hour ride to Mission Lazarus. This provided plenty of time for the interns to begin to get to know each other and for me to realize that it was going to be an awesome summer. We stopped to eat and get groceries in Chuloteca. We then headed on to the ranch. Chad and Shelly told us some of the basic ground rules for the summer and then the guys got to see the humble abode that we would call home for the next nine weeks. We definitely got the best part of the house. Since arriving, we have toured the ranch and all the places that we will be working as well as met the other directors of the individual areas of Mission Lazarus. All I can say now is that I´m looking forward to an amazing summer with some pretty awesome folks. Adios amigos.
