I'm exhausted because this weekend kept me busy!Friday: Science Fair!!! I spent the first of the morning arranging kids, finding extension cords, and moving tables. Finally all 6 of the 5th grade projects had their experiments and presentations ready to go! The 5A boys proudly displayed their experiment: they broke a glass bottle by tying an alcohol-soaked string around it and lighting the string on fire. (Thank goodness they also had a bucket of water.... just in case!) For an hour and a half the judges walked from table to table--I'd never seen my kids so nervous! By 12:00 the students cleaned up their booths!
Friday night: We stayed up to midnight our time (which is incredibly late--my bedtime is around 9:00 here!) because we had a Skype date with the WWU Church! Unfortunately, the connection was wayyy worse than during our test call earlier that day, but we got to see the church and even talk to some people! Thanks to all you who said hello! It totally made my WEEK!
Sabbath: Four of us hopped on a bus, then on a Rapidito (a little bus--20 people crammed in a 12 passenger van) and found our way to Aguas Terminales... the hot springs! These hot springs boiled out of the ground and joined a cool river, where we did most of our swimming. If you didn't watch your step you could scald your foot! It looked like something out of Lord of the 
Rings, with the trees hanging down over the river. Unfortunately, the manager of the motel-type place wasn't there, so we rode with some friends who'd come to meet us and stayed at their house in a town 30 minutes away!

It's so nice to get out of the city every once in a while and remember how GREEN Honduras is! :D
