Well, it seems that Laura & I will be staying in Central America for a while now- I got a teaching job in Honduras. Now Laura gets to fulfill her dream of speaking Spanish for years on end, and I get to fulfill my dream of hiding away from the Tea Party.

| Antigua |
So because of a combination of lowered expectations (``Antigua is totally overrated`` is the most common phrase uttered by gringos here) low money (``We should really stop having such an enjoyable time`` is the most common phrase uttered by me here) and low time (``I can`t wait until we get to the coast`` is the most common phrase uttered by Laura here), we made the tragic mistake of skipping Antigua. Well, we didn`t quite skip it- we spent a one-hour layover there, which is just enough time to see the beautiful ancient churches and quaint streets mocking you as you head back to your shuttle. We also felt a little homesick. Antigua looks remarkably like New Orleans in parts (must be the Spanish architecture) and its courtyards were begging us to stay. Alas, maybe next time.

That church closed longer than the USA is old...How deep does dust get? Who pays the taxes on it? What was the roof made out of? Apparently they eat pigeons.
