This is somewhat of a delayed blog entry, but Valentine's day was apparently a big thing here! Here it is a day of love and friendship (hence title of blog). In school it is more about a day of friendship. I got presents from all my children, and because the parents complained we weren't doing anything to celebrate, each class had a party - excuse for vast amounts of sweet food to make the children vomit! I got Proffe Edith and Gizele (no idea how to spell her name!?) to come and help me deal with the over-excited Grade 1's ,but it went off with no problems! I've never had so many presents and cards on Valentines Day before!
In the evening a group of us went to Jessa's house for a Desert party to celebrate it once more! Can't complain eh? Although to be honest I'd seen so much food during the day I couldn't face eating much!
Since then, life has gone on fairly uneventfully. I had to meet the Grade 1 parents today for the Mid-Parcial grades, but they all seemed happy - phew!
I've started Spanish lessons again with a wonderfully lovely lady. She is starting again from the beginning and it finally makes sense - she is telling me things no-one else explained so is wonderful!! Finally, there is hope!
As for my photography (I'm just a teacher with a camera, it's crazy!) I have apparently got some places to go and photograph in the mountains and by the lake - we shall see!!
As I write this there is a total lunar eclipse outside. It was at a very civilised hour of 9.30pm here and so I have been out with my tripod every 20 minutes taking photos!

Hi,Katharine, what amazing pics,having never seen a total lunar eclipse in all my many years i am astounded.It is so beautiful.Your new Spanish tutor sounds like a very sensible lady,it makes sense that if you understand something it has to be easier to learn it.(that goes for anything)Good job your not a big 'savoury' person!! take care God Bless, love Jean
Love your photos of the eclipse. Alan stayed up until gone 2am but it was too cloudy here. They say the next one visible here will be in 2015! Is it general Honduran custom to have a party for just about any occasion? You know how much I enjoy those parties (not) so certainly don't envy you, but the children look adorable. Take care, Barbara xx
