Do I have your interest now? :) This is where I was last weekend. It was amazing. Tuesday of last week I got a message from a mom that said "we're going to the beach this weekend, we want to you to come, but we can't provide transportation." We found transportation enough for 14 of us teachers to go! This is the story. One of my students Isa, who I absolutely adore, her mom's family owns 
property on the Pacific. Isa's great-grandpa bought this land 50 years a go, and everyone thought he was crazy. The mom, Marcela, tells stories of going there as a young girl and her grandpa would make up stories of an octopus guarding a hidden treasure and they would even find jewels on the beach 
:) it was their magical get-a-way! The grandpa loves animals so there are deer, macaws, peacocks, crocodiles, etc on the land. As his kids got older and their kids got older they started building more homes for lodging. Now there are 8 or so houses and then a big pool, kitchen, dining, hang out area. It is a peninsula with a boardwalk around it and from it you can watch beautiful sunsets!

We spent the day reading, walking the beach, playing with the kids and just loving life. The food was AMAZING! We probably gained about 10 lbs. And on Monday we all were depressed and wanted to be back. We are truly truly thankful for such a great weekend and parents and families that bless us and allow for such a relaxing weekend!

So some of you who read my blog last year might remember that our school is well, not good at sports. Our varsity boys soccer team qualified for the playoffs! They beat our rival school in a penalty shoot out! Super exciting! Next month they will travel to San Pedro to play in the country wide tournament! We are proud!
It is weird to read about all the crazy blizzards going on in the States. It has been in the 80's here! We are loving it! The flowers are blooming, and I am proud so say our flowers are still looking great!
My college roommate Dena lives and works in Egypt. She is okay in Turkey, but pray for her and the situation there. I was talking to my students about it yesterday and with Honduras having the political unrest etc. and if I had to be evacuated to a different country I would have been a mess! I would be thinking about all of them and praying they were ok. I am sure Dena is constantly thinking about and praying for her friends in Egypt. Let's join her in praying!
