We are now in Santa Lucia, a small town high in the mountains outside of Tegucigalpa. We are staying with a family here while we learn Spanish. The school we attend is the same school that the Peace Corps uses for its Spanish training. It is nice and cool in Santa Lucia, and the views are amazing. There are many places to look down and see the sprawling capital city below.
We each have our own teacher at the school, and the courses are tailored to our needs. This is a great preparation for the year we have ahead of us. Another volunteer from Canada named Lisa is here attending Spanish school as well. She will be working with Diaconia on health programs in the southern part of Honduras. We have only been here a few days and our Spanish is already improving. The teachers are also giving us many tips on how to understand Honduran culture. --Matt
