I had the amazing opportunity to go to Honduras and spend Christmas with my sister Susie this year. She has been living in Honduras and teaching at an international school there for the same amount of time that I have been in Romania. No one in our family has been down to Honduras yet to see her, so for this Christmas she, along with my parents, bought a ticket for me to see her.
I was so surprised and couldn't really believe it was actually happening until I got there. It was a really special time getting to meet her friends, see where she lives, and just getting to really know what life is like for her there. Honduras is different then any other place I've visited before, and I really enjoyed getting to see so many new things.
Susie teaches orchestra at Los Pinares Academy and she also plays in the Honduran Philharmonic Orchestra. I was able to go to three of her concerts that she had over Christmas. I'm pretty proud of my sister's accomplishments in Honduras ;)
I was also pretty excited that it was warm in Honduras. I love hot weather and did not miss the snow at all. I got to eat a bunch of tropical fruits and eat food that is completely different from Romanian food.
I also got to enjoy some American things we just don't have in Romania.
After Christmas we took a short beach vacation to Honduras' Caribbean coast. We went swimming, snorkeling, and hiking through the rain forest.
It was amazing to see monkeys, tropical fish, toucans, and this animal I'd never heard of before in the wild.
The trip from Romania to Honduras is a long one. I had an 18 hour layover in Panama on my way there, and long layovers in Atlanta and Amsterdam on the way back. So I was very thankful that I didn't have any problems or delays on any of my flights!! I think that was a miracle!
