sunday. what a fun day

First of all, good news.
As I wrote this morning, we were headed to the market to get some essentials for cooking. We had no plates, bowls, silverware, or knives after leaving our old apartment because we were borrowing items from our landlord... thus, the only thing we could really eat this week was cup of noodles. Well, I got some chili sauce for my noodles (I like them spicy!), and we also found a bunch of stuff that we needed for a pretty good deal! Mind you, we wanted/needed to buy things separately, like silverware, so we didn't have to buy a whole bunch that we didn't need. Get it?
Here's what we got for 100 lempiras ($5.30):
-2 plastic cups (pretty sturdy)
-3 forks (sturdy)
-3 spoons (sturdy)
-one big knife
-two bowls (flat at the bottom to double as plates)
-one plate (for toast and such)

Now, when I say sturdy, I mean they are real. We saw some other silverware that someone else was selling, and it felt like we could bend them in half super easy. The ones we have are totally usable and we probably won't have to buy new ones like we would have had to with the others. The silverware was 3 for 10, that's why we got three.

So, we have things to cook and eat with, now we can buy cheaper food at the market and actually cook! Right now, we're cooking some red beans to make burritos tomorrow night. We also picked up some spaghetti.

Also, we got some new movies! Hondurans like copies of movies. They sell them for super cheap. A lot of times, you can get 3 movies for L.100. We got GrownUps (yes, the newish one), and El Mariachi, Desperado, and The Mexican (all on one disk) for L.60. Yahoo! Unfortunately, we can't watch them now because we have so much work to do with school, but it's still exciting.


Secondly, I have the address where you can send us things if you'd like or if we need something:

Our Name (either or both)
Green Valley Primary
Barrio Santa Rosita
San Marcos, Ocotepeque
Honduras, Central America

At this point, we do not require anything from the US, but there may come a time.

Back to cooking and school work for us! Oh yeah, I like getting comments, and thus far no one has left any... soooo, maybe you should try it some time. I think you can log in with your facebook account, which is the easiest way.
