Well, ideally I would have liked to move all of my Peace Corps Blog Posts to this page. However, WordPress doesn’t like that idea and unfortunately, I don’t have the time to create a blog from scratch. So here is are Permalinks to all of my previous blogs that I wrote during my Peace Corps Service along with a brief excerpt to get your curiosity flowing. Hope you enjoy!
With grace in your heart, and flowers in your hair: Oh, by the way, rules and suggestions for Christmas if I come to visit you or if you visit me in Tallahassee: 1) Becky shall not be fed eggs, plantains, rice, beans, or tortillas or any version thereof unless…
A Sheepishly Late Blog Full of Honduran Goodness: I have traveled with livestock, shat behind bushes, bathed in front of a village, been robbed, given myself food poisoning, fought off parasites, hitchhiked in the back of trucks….
Blog via Podcast. The slackest of the slackers: So, I will post a proper blog soon, but in the mean time I figured those of you that followed my blog would enjoy listening to the podcast La Vida Hondureña. I was interviewed along with my friend Justin in Episode 4: It´s a New Year in Honduras.
Twas the Night Before Christmas…in the Peace Corps: ‘Twas the night before Christmas when all through the site, Not a creature was stirring (though the bedbugs still bite)…
The Colonies Transcend Time... “You know, A… C… V… S… E… the A,C,V’s.”
The Idiot Tree Flourishes in Sabanagrande... So I am pretty sure that I was hit upside the head with the stupid stick the past few weeks. That or I fell out of the idiot tree and hit every dimwit branch on the way down.
Exploding plugs and Exfoliation by Ocean Floor: So, let’s talk about dengue, shall we?
Lets all move to a tropical island!!!!! Let me explain. First of all, I find myself rooting for my taxi driver when it is apparent that they are not, in fact, going to rob me. I mean hell, that is already a good start to a taxi trip!
Is that a tortilla in your pants or are you just happy to see me? So, then we moved to the precipice-of-death. Well, 15 feet is more like the precipice-of-broken-leg, but that isn’t as scary sounding.
A very REJOWI tour... If you would like to play the “Visit Honduras” game (or adult beverage game, if you prefer) look for the following two signs hidden amost the pictures!
Face full of America... Anyway, so then I encountered a giant jar of crunchy Peter Pan Peanut Butter.
”THE RUNSIES” Grammar Issues or Poop Issues, you decide…. So I basically sat around with my thumb up my rear for a week+ thanks to a bacterial infection and Edgar, the parasite.
Nice day for a coup! But, not as nice as Michael Jackson’s nose! Is it Scary? Well, thankfully there was No Blood on the Dance Floor. Seems like it was easy as ABC, actually. I can’t say it was too Off the Wall. There are a lot of accusations that he was Bad. A Smooth Criminal, if you will…
What’s an “usa?”: Now, I know I have complained about the flying roaches before….
Baby-Wielding Lactating Women Hitchhikers: But then they took me to buy flip flops…
The Importance of Vocabulary… So my newest attempt at explaining something that was way above my language level was the phrase “bleeding heart…”

Earthquakes, Coffee, and Ping Pong (Oh my!)
Catching Up, New Digs, and The State of Being Awkward.
