My Fletcher classmate and fellow CRS Fellow Marc recently wrote a post about politics in Bosnia.  So with a little inspiration I thought I would give a glimpse of the political landscape here in Honduras or at least the little bit that I understand.  Rather than try for a comprehensive post which is beyond my current [...]

I’ve written in the blog before about how strange it is to live in Teguc and to be able to recreate many aspects of our stateside life.  We go to Costco (Pricesmart here), eat baked macaroni and cheese and buy Kraft parmesan, swing by Office Depot to pick up office supplies, have the option of [...]

I love to be amazed.  I like shiny things.  Google makes shiny things. 
The newest tweak to Myette.org is on our photo album page that is hosted by Picasa (Google’s photo sharing software and website).  Amidst the hype of Chrome, Google’s new web browser released on Tuesday, was the much less hyped release of a new version [...]

Our friends Kristel (Pesta) and Nicholas (St. Ores) got married this weekend.  Kristel is Jacob’s godmother and both Kristel and Nicholas were volunteers with us in Honduras.  It was a great fiesta of a wedding with about 15 former Finca volunteers in attendance. 

We also had a chance to spend some time with Erika’s cousin Bill and [...]

We dared to do it.  We took Michael, Jacob and Maggie to Disney World.  Erika has been dying to take the kids and it turns out my sisters godfather was able to get us in for practically free so I consented to put on my good attitude and trek up to Orlando. 
It turned out to [...]
