Una ballena en Omoa

March 21, 2007

So i come home from school and 15 minutes later my host dad comes in and says “a whale washed up on the beach”.  when i got there they had already cut it into two pieces, like the head and the body. and they were cutting the meat off and all the guts were like tossed to the side. it wasnt HUGE huge but it must have been like 20 feet long at least. oh and they took out the jaw bone it was as tall as the guy propping it up and other guy was cutting the meat and insides off. They say some boat hit it and it washed up on the shore half dead.

Ok so that´s me being lazy, pasting parts from an instant message. But seriously, this was such an amazing sight. And again…I didn´t have my freaking camera. But today it was on the front page of La Prensa, so I´m gonna try to cut out and save the article on it.

PS. en cuanto de sr. Hart, estoy aprendiendo el español, no te preocupes! Ya entiendo todo en colegio, y aun me participo a veces. pero no estoy seguro si voy a poder a viajar mucho mas, porque todos se enojan cuando me voy a lugares. Mi mama anfitriona siempre me llama vago. Yo viajaría sin permiso oficial, pero estoy bastante seguro que mi colegio llamaría a AFS, y ya he usado mis dos viajes independientes aprobados. asi que tendremos que ver.   (como siempre, si alguien se nota errores, ¡dime!)

Under the sea.

So me and some AFS friends went to a town called La Ceiba. Originally it was gonna be for about 6 days, just chillin there and exploring, since some people had heard it was a cool place. So once while we were there, we heard all this talk about Utila, one of the bay islands off the northern coast of honduras. So we ended up taking the ferry over there. When we got there, I decided to take a scuba diving course. Scuba diving is amazing. I had a blast. So our one week trip turned into two weeks.

So the last week I´ve been scuba diving. In one of the best places to do it in the world (and one of the cheapest =) )

Now I´m back in Omoa. Back to school tomorrow. But I´m ok with that.

Ok I´m sorry, that should have been way longer, but….oh well. The end.
