Things that I do in Honduras that I never did or would never do in the States

• Paint my toenails every week
• Wear flip flops everyday (and I have the tan line to show it)
• Take malaria medicine every week (luckily I haven’t lost my hair or started hallucinating so I think I’ll stick with it)
• Go to bed by 10 pm everyday (sometimes as early as 8:30 pm) and wake up at 6 am everyday (although on the weekends sometimes I sleep in until 8:30 am)
• Clean my entire apartment every week (usually Friday night)
• Read Newsweek everyday because Peace Corps sends it to us for free (even though it is usually a few months old)
• Cook for myself everyday
• Hitchhike
• Suck on sugar cane straight from the field
• Use an umbrella everyday, even when it is not raining
• Take cold showers by choice (my electroducha has three settings, off, warm, hot and I use the off setting)
• Wash my clothes by hand
• Go to the Catholic Church because it is the most liberal
• Teach middle school kids how to correctly use a condom
• Work out by myself everyday (I’d rather work out with others, it is more fun)
