Postcard from Honduras

Friends are asking about the wayward Fuller in Honduras, so I thought I'd be lazy with this week's blog posting and use her material instead. The photo to the left is not one of hers but it is the reason she went there.

Hi guys!

I didn´t really think I´d get to email you for the restof the trip, but we ended up hanging out in a town for a while and I have time to kill.

I am literally having the time of my life. I miss you guys, but I wish we could extend our stay a few months... we have almost finished building the house here. I´ve become a master mason and have been spending all day in the hot hot sun (it hasn´t rained during work day yet) laying mortar and bricks. Let me tell you, it is amazing. there are these awesome little kids who hang around the worksite. I love them all so much. I have so many pictures of them messing around and I know I´m going to miss them like woah.

On our off days we go site-seeing. One day we went zip-lining over a waterfall and then hiked under it (remember when Laurel and I went canyoning? like that, only without safety gear... way more hardcore.) the food is pretty good. The hotel food is varied, and not always authentic or good. but the portions are HUGE! every day for lunch we go to the house of a family who has a habitat house and they cook us these AMAZING meals. Today was one little girl´s birthday so there was food, decorations, dancing and a piñata. so much fun.

I´m taking plenty of pictures, so don´t worry. I can´t wait for a hot shower (ours are cold...) and a hot bowl of pasta e fagioli when I get home. (I´m thinking I may drive home on Friday night, even if it´s really late. Is that okay if I get home at like midnight? I really just want to crash at home with you guys and detox for a few days.) I miss you guys!

did you ever pay my PGE bill or get my ring from laurel? I really miss that ring.

lots of love,
Maggie
