Honduras 2012 - Day 1

After a long day of flying, airport security, and crazy bus rides, we are finally safely in Choluteca, Honduras, and life couldn't be better.  It seems that every time I'm here, I just want to live here forever.  Overall, we had a good traveling day yesterday.  The weather was absolutely fantastic, we had awesome flights, and not long delays on the plane transitions.  That's just the way I like it.

To start of the day yesterday, we met at the church at 3 am for prayer.  After the prayer and a few shed tears, we were headed to the Nashville airport.  We arrived right on time, around 4 am, but had to wait on members of the Kentucky church because they had a blow out on their trailer.  But they finally arrived, and though we were off to a late start, we were on our way.  We boarded our plane in Nashville at around 6, and once on the plane, they got us all the way to the runway and said we had to sit there because of delays in Atlanta.  And so, after sitting there for what seemed like ages, we took off and landed successfully in Atlanta.  Because of the delay, we had to book it to our gate, but we made it right on time.  Surprisingly, the landing in Tegucigalpa wasn't as bad as I had expected.  And once we had made our way through customs, we found our Honduran friends.  There to greet us were Ramon, his son (who we call Babino Ramon), another boy whose name always escapes me, and a few other family members.  After a lunch at Burger King (Honduras style) and some dangerous street crossing, we loaded the bus and headed to Choluteca.  A lot happened on the bus ride, but I won't go into details.  But basically, a 33 year old asked me to marry him.  I'd have to say that's a first.

Finally, we arrived at the hotel, unloaded all of our luggage, and settled into our rooms a little.  We then headed out for some late night Pizza Hut, came back, and hit the sacks. Well, most of the team.  Our room was a little bit crazy.  A hotel worker, Mario, came into our room with some fresh mangos and taught us the best way to eat them; with a little tabasco sauce, salt, worcestershire sauce, and chili powder. Shockingly, I loved it.  According to Bri and I, it did something to us. Because our room was crazy the rest of the night.  I won't go too deep into details, but let's just say the rooms next to us probably didn't like us too much. 


That pretty much sums up day one.  Sorry if I was boring and went way to into detail. (:
