I feel like I am quite often complaining, and I know from talking with my parents, many of you may think that I am not enjoying myself. At times, this may be true, but for the most part, I love Copan.
Copan is a very quaint town. The people here are lovely. I feel like most people work hard and enjoy their lives. As an obvious outsider in the town I feel welcomed by all; granted, most are aware that I am a teacher at Mayatan School, which does come with some prestige and recognition. None the less, I rarely feel like I'm on the outside. I love that people are very helpful. Most people know very little, if any English, however, they are all very patient with me as I try to muttle through Spanish.
Copan is in a beautiful part of Honduras. Surrounded by rain forest there is a surplus of areas to hike. I have yet to visit the ruins, but I can't wait. Right up by the school is a great bird park, full of Macaws, Tucans, and other tropical birds it's cool. There are coffee plants growing all over. It is so different from home. I am always amazed by the beauty.
So you see, I do love that I am here and what I am doing, even if daily events often frustrate me and get me down.
