Gato Prohibido!

Well today was a whirlwind of activity and excitement. We woke up and went to the school and saw J's classroom and E's office, both of them need some sprucing up but we think it will be fun to start working on making the spaces ours. Both kids spent some time in the daycare and were a bit slow to warm up but having three great daycare staff all to themselves ended up making all the difference and by the time we came to get them they wanted to stay! We found an apartment that looks good (more on that tomorrow) had some orientation meetings and then went to the mall food court for lunch. The mall is more like an amusement park here than a mall!

When we were returning our group got a call from the hotel... turns out one of our fellow teaching couples was hiding their cat in the hotel room... the cat was discovered and kicked out! Gato Prohibido! In the end they were allowed to stay in one of the adjacent apartment like dwellings but for a couple of hours we all thought that they were going to be kicked out of the Honduras Maya all together.

After that we all spent some time relaxing at the pool and having a few Salva Vidas (Decent Honduran Beers) and then we went to one of the High School Principals houses for Pizza. The Pizza "Place" was classic! It looked like a family converted the area in front of their house into a pizza cooking area and now they make great pizza. It was enjoyed by all!!

Oh Yeah I almost forgot we are in the paper!!! Link to the article in the Sonoma West Times.
