May

Well we feel like time is flying by. We have less than three weeks of school left and can feel the students (and teachers too) losing focus. We've been hiking on the weekends, watching many bootlegged copies of movies (oh yeah we saw the new X-men movie before it even came out in theaters), eating out at our favorite (cheap) restaurants and playing cards with other teachers. Copan is definitely a small town and we love it but will be ready to have a little variety.

The school had a mother's day celebration the Friday before Mother's day. Each class presented a song or poem or dance for the mothers.
Hard workers setting up for the event. The tent in the background was for the students so they wouldn't have to sit in the sun.
David being a caballero and walking all the mothers to their seat on the pine covered walkway.
Here the moms are watching the program as kids are running wild.
They had many of the home ec. projects on display and then were given to the moms. Here are the frames my students made. They are really cool and they embossed the metal themselves. However they worked on these for about 4 months which in my opinion is WAY too long for a project like this. (I don't teach that class)

And as a tribute to our favorite internet cafe I thought I'd post this picture. Ever, the waiter/cashier/barista made this for us. We had to take a picture. It is nice to know locals and get special treatment.
