It's been awhile since I've posted anything on this blog; I'm a very busy woman. Okay, so not that busy. In all honesty I forgot I had a blog until I decided I wanted some way to write about my travel experiences that I could share with family and friends. But nonetheless here I am, and here goes nothing!
A couple months ago I decided I wanted to travel back to the country I was adopted from 23 years ago. Through support from family and friends, I was able to raise enough funds to fly down with an organization called Students Helping Honduras. Through this organization, I will be helping to build a school, and work with the children of La Progreso through gang prevention and tutoring English. I haven't been back to Honduras since I was adopted, and this trip is very meaningful to me. Today actually marks my 23rd Gotcha Day, otherwise known as the celebratory day an adopted child comes home.
So now I'm currently sitting at the bar in The Houston Airport sipping a Sam Adams and marveling at how indeed, everything is bigger in Texas, and there is no way I'm finishing my steak burger. I have 2 and a half more hours until my flight to Honduras and I can barely contain my excitement! I'm also praying that there are no children on this flight, seeing as my flight from DC was terrorized by a toddler with pigtails and incredibly powerful lungs. For now I can just sit back, drink, and watch the poor Canadian man sitting next to me awkwardly trying to cease conversation with the bartender, whose voice reminds me of Minnie Mouse...how unfortunate.
Until next time...See y'all in Honduras! Adios!
