As of this week I have four more weeks of normal teaching. Every other day brings alternate reactions. Yesterday I couldn't imagine leaving my students, my fellow SMs, the people I've come to know, and this beautiful country. Today I can hardly wait to see my family and friends and to simply be home.
On Sunday we made another day trip to Valle de Angeles, the little tourist shopping town on the other side of Tegucigalpa. I stocked up on souvenirs I've wanted all year. The best part of the trip would have to be our stop at a park in Tegucigalpa--Cristo de Picacho!
We took a taxi to the top of a hill and enjoyed an amazing panoramic view of the city! We payed the 5 Lempira charge (25 cents) to get into the zoo and watched leopards groom themselves, alligators sit like bumps on a log, and monkeys swing and perform for their audience. My mouth dropped open when one baby monkey wriggled through the chain link fence and scampered away free of its cage... I guess that happens all the time? ha! Then we took pictures with the actual ''Cristo de Picacho'' a HUGE statue of Jesus overlooking the entire city. Awesome!
I wish I could describe how much I love my kids. I wanted to tell you a cute story from today's classes to illustrate my feelings. Only distinct images came to mind:
--Katherine's hair and uniform skirt twirling as she landed gracefully in her desk.
--Little Ana pressing herself against me, ducking her head shyly and asking, ''Miss, am I a candidate for Student of the Week tomorrow?''
--Orlando's quiet shrug and half smile, half grimace when I asked him to come do a problem on the board.
Yes, they're adorable when they're not running around yelling their heads off! haha!
