This week has been great. Classes have been interesting and we have been learning a lot.This week’s themes were poverty and the education system here in Honduras. We got to visit a public school which was pretty interesting. The room I (Hope) observed nothing was learned and children were running around and yelling chaotically. In the room Zenobia observed a normal math class was going on.
Yesterday a group of us went up to the zoo and El Picacho Park. The zoo was fun (in a you-have-to-laugh-because-this-zoo-is-so-janky kind of way). At the zoo there was a room of stuffed animals that were positioned in ways to look like they were killing and eating each other.Also most of these animals had stuffing coming out of them and were missing body parts (teeth, ears etc…). The animals that are actually alive live on cement slabs in the forest and are constantly bothered by vultures (that are, in my opinion, just waiting for the zoo animals to die so that can eat them). My favorite animals there were the monkeys. They were so playful and cute. Some tried to steal my camera, others were fighting and a few were escaped and running around on the paths and in other animals cages.
After the zoo we walked to the Statue of Jesus that overlooks Tegus. It is pretty tall and is surrounded by beautiful gardens and paths where you can wonder or have a picnic. It was pretty hot so we went in the sprinklers and had a water fight with the bagged water (which is common here and way cheaper than a bottle of water).
Then last night we went to a free concert called El Manifesto. It was a benefit concert to raise awareness about AIDS.
Today we are just chilling and trying to upload some pictures on Facebook (which you should check out if they work!) Soon we are going to church with my sister, Kenia
Pues, no vesmos
