An awesome country
Sat Jul 30, 2005 11:54 EST (UTC -5)

While I'm on vacation, my friend Kevin is guest posting today.

Well, since Jordon is out in Gainesville, I'm taking over The World of Stuff for a few days ...or maybe just for this post. To his viewers from all over the world, I tell you that you must all comment below. Or, I'll put it this way, in more of a poll-type thing: IF YOU'RE READING THIS, PLEASE COMMENT, regardless of what you have to say, put a comma, if you want, I don't care, I just want to see how many people really do read this.

Okay, anyways. Let's see what to talk about... Well I just came back from a three and a half week vacation over in Honduras. My mother is Honduran and all my family is there, so we visit them every summer and sometimes Christmas and Easter. Spanish is spoken there and it's partially due to our trips there that I've learned to master Spanish. Sí, yo puedo hablar español. It's a nice country, with rich traditions and history (but I guess that applies to anywhere really), and the food is good. My family's from a city called Comayagua, but lately we've been staying in the country's two largest cities: San Pedro Sula and the capital Tegucigalpa. Okay, I'm definetly boring people, so I need to talk about something more interesting.

Well I don't really know how to sum up a country and its culture in one post without boring you, so I'll just say that it's an awesome country. There's mountains, volcanoes, beaches (Atlantic & Pacific), Mayan ruins, jungles, islands, surfing, scuba diving, old cathedrals, etcetera. Jeez, I really wanted to make this post be great but it sounds crappy, oh jeez, sorry. Peut être depuis (that's French for 'maybe later').

P.S. If I had a website, this is where I'd plug it.

I'm really not sure, but it was about 5 or so years ago. He helped some people rebuild their house after a big hurricane, if that helps! I'm not sure how many hurricanes their are, but this was supposed to have been a really big one. You might now the exact time, and or part of the country.

I guess I don't count, but hey. This is the first opportunity I've gotten to be online since I've been away. Good thing I've had these posts set to appear automatically.

Daniel, that was probably Hurricane Mitch in 1998, and yeah it was the biggest hurricane that's hit Honduras.

Yes, it was hurricane Mitch! Never would have remembered it myself...
