So as I sit in the airport, I decided to write a blog to pass time...you know, maybe this will eat up an hour out of the 11 I have left here (ha). I am no longer on my beautiful little island. Right now I am sitting in the airport in San Pedro Sula, awaiting my flight for this evening.
Although it was sad, it was a good way to end my time here in the island. This morning we had a breakfast at the school, and most everyone was there. It was nice to get to see most of my friends one last time this morning and eat a catracho breakfast on my last day. Last night, though, I had a hard time falling asleep. Of course it had to do with the impending thought of the trip today. (If I have never told you before, I always get nervous when flying international. I always think of the worst circumstances that could happen and spend hours planning out what I would do if they actually happened.)
This morning was a bit difficult too. I had my alarm set to go off at 7:20am...but the gallos woke me up at 5:50 instead. At first I began to complain at them, and then I stopped. I realized, that even though they are some of the most annoying little things I have ever known, I will actually miss the sound of their crowing in the mornings. That's definitely not something that I will have in the city in Dallas when I get back.
On the way to the airport in Roatán, I felt really sad as I saw the ocean pass by my window, all the trees, driving through Los Fuertes and all the familiar sights. I know I'm going to miss this place and the people a lot. I think I may have mentioned this before, and you may laugh, but I almost feel like I'm traveling to a foreign country. Como, the way I felt when I headed to the airport on my way to Honduras is the way I feel now as I head to the United States. After 6 months, it almost feels like I'm going to an unknown place to start a new adventure.
I'm excited, though. I'm excited to see my family. Excited to see my friends. Excited to see places of childhood memories and places I used to go to all of the time. So USA, see you soon. I'll be writing again soon to tell everyone how I'm adjusting back to American culture.
Until next time world,
