Back to school

This seems a little premature since the kids don't start until next week, but for teachers the fun begins tomorrow! I guess I can call it fun because it isn't yet 5:30 am, when my alarm is set to go off. School hours here are 7-2:30, teachers are usually there by 6:45, eeeks! So far in Copan my days have been starting around 8 followed by few hours up at school. Then home again to grab my computer and head to the cafe to chat, email and drink the ever-flowing granitas! All of this hard-work is followed by a siesta in the afternoon! Man, life has been tough!

It will all change tomorrow! Actually, I am looking forward to the change. I am ready to establish some routines. It seems like most afternoons I am searching for things to do. It's really too hot to walk around and explore. I am already sweating more than my fair share!

All Mayatan staff has now arrived. This morning a local businessman (previously from New York) put together an awesome breakfast for us. It was great to finally be altogether. We are quite a diverse group; ranging in age as well as experience.
