Hey all, so this wraps up my time in La Ceiba, Honduras. It is a pretty popular tourist town with the more adventurous kind of people but still doesn't offer too much. YOU have to check out the outskirts of town. Where the real beauty lives. I got a chance to live in one of those little bity aldeas and I really loved it. I lived across the river for 2 weeks where I had to take a basket about 300 feet in the air pulling myseft with some kind of metal gripping device about a 100 feet over the river which was too high to walk across because it is the rainy season. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I don't plan on trying my luck on it anytime soon! I worked with the doctor from Texas here for about 5 weeks, I took a few days of some spanish classes to improve my grammar, which I am not sure if it did much actually. I did go out a couple nights while in town and one of those nights I guess I had a few too many but I walked out without paying the bill. My waiter had to run after me and finally caught be before I jumped into the cab (oohh I felt so embarrassed that I had to return and buy a few more drinks!).
One health worker recited a Haitian saying. ¨Giving people medicine for TB and not giving them food is like washing your hands and drying them in the dirt.¨
