At this point I have lived at the farm for about 7 and a half months. I now find comfort and beauty in the simple life of rural Honduras. I even make pretty good tortillas from scratch. As any former international volunteer or exchange student will tell you, this level of comfort in no way removes one's old tastes for movies and fancy frozen coffee drinks. A week ago Betsy and I headed to Ceiba to collect our Honduran residency cards. While in the "big city" we celebrated our new found residency by partaking in every American activity we could find. We had Dunkin Donuts...twice, saw Thor in theaters (1st movie theater since August), ate at Pizza Hut, got ice cream (twice as well), and ate at the one legitimate Italian restaurant in Ceiba. It was amazing, we thought it could not get any better...then Thursday arrived.
Every Thursday we get mail, and this week I received a much expected package from my parents...the Harry Potter 7 DVD. As a self proclaimed Harry Potter lover/ addict, not being able to see this film since its release in November had been somewhat frustrating. Last night, myself, and fellow HP lover Betsy, and 2 other vols broke out some care package candy leftovers and watched the greatness that is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 at last. It was truly amazing, closest movie to the book yet.
In summary, american junk food and Harry Potter, no matter where one moves, never cease to be amazing!
