Loren started this FANCY blog! And Robin...
...used her first Spanish words to ask what time we eat dinner (look how proud she is!)...although, it should be said that, at first, the lady had no idea what she said, because Robin was too shy to ask with authority.
We got here with almost no problemos. When we landed we completely passed by our bus driver, and then sat and waited for about a half an hour, until Loren finally asked him in ridiculously broken Spanish (with a little English mixed in for good measure) if he was from Our Little Roses. He was SO excited to find us that he hugged us both joyously...and then proceeded to say a LOT of stuff in Spanish...we just nodded and smiled and got on the bus.
Our apartment is great...we have a beautiful view of the mountains just outside our door. We've each got a bunk bed and lots of closet and drawer space. There's a big living room (with a TV, DVD player and wireless internet, crazy) and there's a nice big kitchen that we (read: Robin) could cook in if we wanted.
After we unpacked we decided to go exploring...4 minutes later we returned to the apartment because the place is deserted...we have seen exactly 2 other people. Robin has now learned how to say "are there other persons?" just in case.
We may be SLIGHTLY punchy, as we have both been up since 4am, and it's only 5:30pm here (we're 2 hours behind Eastern time because Honduras doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time...a fact which Loren really enjoyed figuring out but which gave Robin a headache...Loren is no longer allowed to talk about the time difference).
So, now we're waiting until siete (7) for la cena (dinner) and then we're going to head to bed (bed).
We start class tomorrow morning!

Great blog - it's fun to read of your encounter with different cultures, and different grapes. :)
Prayers for continued discovery and joy in all sorts and conditions of God's people - and driving conditions!
