I Wonder...

I’ve spent the past few days waxing philosophical. It hardly seems possible that I’ve already been here in Honduras for almost two months and that I only have just a little over 3 ½ months left before I return to Kansas. So, I’ve found myself thinking, and in those thoughts, I wonder:

=> When I return to Kansas, will I be able to sleep without the sounds of roosters crowing at 1, 2 or 3am or dogs barking pretty much all night long?

=> Will I ever attend a birthday party that does not include a piñata?

=> Am I really starting to think in Spanish?

=> Have I assimilated enough of the culture that 25 Lempiras (about $1.25) really is too expensive for a piña?

=> Will I ever need to sleep with more than just a sheet here?

=> Are socks really that important?

=> What’s a “one way” street when I have a bicycle?

=> Why doesn’t the clock in the cathedral, the one called the “oldest working clock in the western hemisphere”, work anymore?

=> Why can’t I be here during Semana Santa and get to see las alfombras? (Go ahead, Google it.)

=> Who needs more than a pair of Keens and a pair of flip flops?

=> Could I live here?

=> Will I ever be able to clap on beats 2 & 4 again?

=> Why do birds suddenly appear…? (Sorry, couldn’t resist that one.)


Just some of my thoughts as I go about my day to day life.

Blessings!
