I have been here in Honduras for 5 1/2 weeks now. It’s been a good month, stressful, and character building. Home seems so far away, and it’s hard to remember what the States are like anymore. I crave American food so much here. There’s a supermarket where I can buy Trix cereal! It’s amazing… ha. The last bag of Trix cereal I bought here only lasted two days… yeah… ha.
Foods I miss:
Taco Bell
Canned peas
Mashed Potatoes
Ranch salad dressing
Pizza
Olives (black & green)
Taco salad
Orange juice
Eggs on toast (and all breakfast foods in general, vegetarian of course!)
Pickles (jalapeno flavored)
… and french fries… (the list goes on, but I’ll stop there. Ha)
It’s funny that I miss American food so much, but the food here is so bland that I can’t help missing good ol’ American food. Ha. We have rice or beans (or both) at almost every meal.
I started writing this blog last week, and it is now Sunday… Hannah, Amanda, and I always go into Santa Barbara on Sundays because it’s our only free time to go, and we always eat as much ice cream, chocolate, and candy as we can while we can. We have our regular stores that we go to, and then after our shopping it is our tradition to get something to eat before heading back to our safe grounds. Today our normal fast food place was not open, so we headed off to another restaurant near by. When we walked in, I looked to my right, and to my surprise, I saw a plate full of french fries! Not just french fries, but french fries with ketchup!!! I was shocked, thrilled, and oh so excited to indulge in my American lunch! To say the least, I will be going to that restaurant a lot more on my days off…
