Sh*t Bags & Sawdust

Hello out there,

Here's another update of Lewis and I's very glamorous life.

Last week I picked up a housekeeping job here at the hotel. Overall it's not too bad, very sweaty, learning how to fold things to perfection, and I get to remove people's toilet trash for $1.50 an hour!!!!! So I try to pretend I'm like J-Lo in Maid in Manhattan, and constantly remind myself that I'm living on an island in the Caribian, traveling Central and South America with a good looking Australian.

Speaking of.... Lewis is more like Ryan Gossling in the Notebook. He wakes up early every morning and stops work just before the mosiquotes get really bad, all while he hand sands the two stories of railings of the hotel. All for love and. $1.50 an hour.

We try to make light of this, and were very proud of ourselves last week when we earned $150 for the week. Crazy to think I used to make that or more in one night waiting tables and Lewis made that just by sneezing at his old job.

But don't worry we do have some fun around here! Last Thursday was Indepence day for Honduras and a few other surrounding countries. We had been listening to the highschool band practice since we arrived on the island so we decided to check out the parade. The music was good, but it was nothing like th surprise parades we saw in Antigua. But the funniest and oddest thing was the assembly at the school stadium. We got to listen to the national anthem, THREE times, each time sang by a different person. The second woman who sang, was just awful. The school band couldnt keep rythem with her and the whole crowd was trying not to giggle. We just wondered why her???? There were plenty of people to pick from! It was a great place for some people watching and the town really did seem to go all out for th celebration.

This weekend the hotel is hosting some live music and they are doing a pig roast!

Now we're off to the beach, life isn't too bad!!!
