hot water.

I felt my first drop of hot water since being here! It was the most amazing feeling, and it was running hot water (not just a bucket bath). I finally feel like the layer of grime has been scrubbed off, it was a beautiful thing. It lasted about ten minutes and I finally got to use conditioner.

I love Ojojona. It reminds me of a dusty Holland. Today I walked around town and found a place that sells chocolate covered bananas for two lempiras, which is equal to about ten cents.

bocce!

Last night, I had to take a bucket bath but my mom heated the water for me. It was still pretty good. The electricity went out halfway through the process, which only enhanced the sensation of hot water on my body so I was content with it.

All I seem to talk about these days are the food and the showers. It is funny how much my priorities have changed and what makes me happy here – like the mirror in my bedroom. I no longer have to use my MacBook’s Photo Booth to get ready in the morning.
