So, it turns out that it is much more difficult than I originally thought to make it to a computer and write a blog post down here. En todos modos "down here" is no longer referring to my comfortable language school location of Antigua, Guatemala, but rather the Finca! Our trip to just outside of Trujillo, Honduras went quite smoothly, with very little to note. We briefly stopped in La Ceiba to visit Fase II, where the Finca kids who have graduated and matured enough attend high school. That was a cool introduction to what we have set up there... a look into the future of the kids I'll be working with on a more immediate basis.
[Here you might ask, "oh yeah, Kevin, you mentioned you'd be doing something but weren't sure what yet! What are you doing?" I might respond with: ]
Oh yeah! For those of you who don't already know (which is nearly everybody except my parents and siblings (in fact, it might actually be exactly everybody except for them)), I'll be teaching math and computer classes at the colegio for the coming year. The math classes will be seventh through ninth grades, while I'll be teaching computer classes to first through ninth.

So... this is silly, because I finally decided to type a blog post, but we're currently in the middle of rainy season, it's looking like it's going to rain like crazy on me, and I'm a ten minute walk away from the farm. Plus, I'm using somebody else's computer which I'll have to carry back in the rain if I don't leave real quick. So I'm only gonna say this much and ditch!

I hope all are well back in the states!

Que se vaya bien!

cough- SEND ME MAIL! -endcough
Just in case you get bored enough to send me some snail mail... which I would highly encourage, by the way. Since I have limited access to the internet, I'm going to make a deal with y'all. If you snail-mail me, I will definitely get back to you, because it means that you are committing to the same level of effort to keep in touch with me as I am with you, whereas correspondence via email is so difficult for us at times that I can't guarantee response to everyone. My apologies for this... it's just so hard to get to a computer (with internet) here.
