Paraiso

For the first time in 3 weeks we are all three showered, have had a good nights sleep, have eaten well, and all feel normal again.  We have arrived back in civilization.

Right now we are sitting in an internet cafe in Xela, drinking lattes, eating crepes and using wireless internet service.  It is our idea of heaven.  We actually cried tears of happiness.  I'm not kidding, Gabby started it and Andrea and I both joined in once she got all teary.

We are all living with different families.  Andrea has a family with a lot of kids, like she wanted.  Gabby has a really nice family and she has a great little room with one pink wall, one blue wall, and one wood wall and a huge window over her desk looking out over the city.  My family is really amazing and kind.  They go out of their way to find food that I like and ask me questions, most of which require some sort of pantomime in order for me to understand, but they are very patient.  They have obviously had a lot of students.

i specifically want photos of sarah,andrea and gabrielle - no photos of starving latin children and third world anomalies and beautiful lakes and other-worldly ancient ruins unless one of you is also in the photo. remember - a picture speaks a thousand words
