Today was independence day in Honduras! I spent the day having a wonderful brunch with a group of teachers at my apartment, laying in the sun reading a book, playing volleyball and soccer, and making tacos with homemade shells! It was a great day to relax and catch up. Yesterday was our big celebration at school. It started with an assembly and Pre-K and Kinder parade. Then a short recess and the younger kids went to the older kids rooms for a presentation and authentic Honduran food (which I ate more than enough of). It was a lot of fun! The kids loved the day. They were allowed to dress in jeans and blue shirts instead of their uniforms or in traditional Honduran clothes. Most of the younger kids did, while the older kids wore jeans. They were absolutely adorable!
I didn't have any classes yesterday because of the crazy schedule. It was great to go in and out of all the classrooms, talk to the kids and take pictures. Overall, the day was a huge success. A little crazy, because so much was going on, but it was great to get away from the routine for a day and mix it up. I took a TON of pictures and hope to have them on FB soon.
As for now, school tomorrow... if only every week could have a day off in the middle... :)
