hey

hi, i am in a town called zarabanda now. we were supposed to leave for our sites yesterday but mel zelaya came back and thus there have been curfews the last week where we were not allowed to leave our houses for two days straight. now the curfews are only at night and we are confident that we will be able to go to our sites. my site is in olancho and the town is called la union, it is near these caves where the oldest human remains in central america were found. i will probably working with eco tourism here as well as enviro ed, sustainable farming, and many other projects. mty counter part seems amazing and everyione raves about him. olancho is also supposed to be a rough and tumble place so i am really excited to go. life here is pretty relaxing we ussually just chat play soccer and go on hikes. yet we have had a few parties which were really fun. i also went to a synangoge in teguz for rosh hashana which was fun but there were only a 15 ppl there and the key for the arc arrived a little late, but the ppl there were really nice and it was fun to go to a synagoge. hope you all are doing well, missing you all. i hope you all have a happy and healthy new year

love
josh
