Ok so I have been a little busy with our vacation and haven't had time to post....sorry :( So now that I have a second to breathe let me catch you up on the big adventure to Central America. So Monday we left, now we flew out of Miami, so a 5 hour drive south, then got on the plane for 2 more hours and arrived in beautiful San Pedro Sula, Honduras. My son did amazing with the whole travel thing. I completely worried for nothing. Which was a huge relief. We spent 2 amazing days at a resort on a gorgeous island called Roatan. Then came back to San Pedro Sula. Now if your the type of person that can't stand hot humid weather, then Honduras ain't the place for you. When I tell you I was sweating from every pore on every part of my body, I ain't joking. That place is friggin HOT. My poor son got a serious heat rash. We've been having to give him cool baths and covering him with hydrocortisone. And then my camera quit working the last 3 days. But we had back up, thank ya sweet baby Jesus. Other than that it was absolutely amazing, breathtaking, I don't even know how else to describe it. There aren't any words to depict the whole experience. It was definetly eye opening, I can say that I am so thankful for everything that we have. And the simple things like warm running water, electricity, our health. I can't tell you how heartbreaking it was to see young children playing shoeless in dirty clothes, living in a hut in the mountains. This definetly is a place I'm visiting much more often, just spending time in those surroundings is so humbling. I'm planning on doing some mission work, I've even been thinking about going back to school for teaching, so I can go over there to educate these amazingly strong children, so they can better themselves and their futures. This definetly was a bucket list trip. I'm so happy that I could take my son to see were his roots stem from. One day he can look back at all the pictures and he'll understand and appreciate it. So yes Honduras was overly amazing, and we had a blast. I'm so grateful for the experiences, and now......back to reality.
Muchos besitos, Nicole
