Tegucigalpa, Honduras

Today was my first day in Tegucigalpa. It is so pretty here! When i landed and stepped out of the plane there was a big family standing to greet me. Everyone is so friendly here. We arrived at the house and I was shocked, It's so pretty! The color is yellow, and the inside is so big and clean. By the time i stepped in the house the kids, Victoria and Alejondro rushed to grab my bags and were excited to show me my room. The room is big and white with a closet, dresser, and two beds. When I was done unpacking the whole family of five, not including me was waiting downstairs ready to play some checkers. It's 56 degrees here, so much better than Delaware. At first I thought I'd be the only english speaking person, but actually almost everyone speaks english. I also get to practice some of my spanish too! When I came inside, I was so happy to see lunch waiting on the table and the whole family rushing me to sit down. We had a big feast and i didn't know what to eat first. There was rice, beans, tortillas, grilled meat, salad, fish lobster, shrimp, and something called tostones or plantos fritos. Surprisingly the tostones were very good and i had more than one. Even though they were strange looking they were very good. I can't wait until I see what else we eat.
