Odds and ends

So here are a few random things I wanted to bring up that didn't quite fit into other entries:

• I found two more Honduran look-alikes here! One of the older school girls here reminds me of my friend Sierra from work. She's beautiful, with gorgeous eyes that make her appear older than she is and a great smile, and has fantastic hair. All just like Sierra. Also, this afternoon, I found myself constantly drawn to watching this little girl. I finally realized she reminds me of my baby sister Hannah. It was mostly in the way she looked at things. Hannah is awesome, quite the character, and this girl had the same curious, suspicious, wandering eyes that Hannah does. The little girl was never looking straight ahead, but was always fixed on something else, always as though she was evaluating something (and, of course, finding it lacking). I loved it. She also just generally had some of Hannah's facial features but I wasn't sure what exactly. I definitely want to talk to her sometime and see if her personality comes through the same way. First, I'll have to find out her name.
• I found out during a jalon yesterday that there are apparently two other Gringos living in my tiny site. I have yet to meet them but am trying to. Completely coincidentally, I found a website one of them has today! Check out here to see a few small pictures of Cones along with some great details about it. I couldn't believe someone had a site about Cones!
• I got my first letters in-site from Grandma! Thanks! I think they came fairly quickly, so that's pretty exciting. I have yet to receive a package here. I also sent out an email, finally, with my address here in Cisco. I had thought that I sent that out but I was wrong. Anyone who wants to send me something, just let me know and I can forward you the email. 
• EDIT: One of the letters was from BOPPY (not both from Gram)!! Hugely exciting. Thanks, Bop!!
• I met two other PCVs in Ocotepeque yesterday in San Marco (including the only other YD PCV here) and hope to be meeting more on Tuesday at Matt's. It's definitely a great network of people.
• I found out that San Marco has 3G and is safe enough to sit outside at a cafe with your laptop out! I will be testing that out soon and hopefully being able to successfully chat (rather than just send random messages and hope they go through) and maybe even video chat. I'll let everyone know when that should happen.
• My forgetting to wear a Rutgers t-shirt last week was apparently NOT the reason we lost. I wore one yesterday and...that atrocity of a game happened. Oh, Rutgers. My heart goes out to you in more ways than one this week.

It seems as though I'm back in posting mode, so I will try to get a real entry up about my trip to San Marco from yesterday and my second church visit from today soon!
