Ok, I am in NM at the moment and it is my second-to-last night here before leaving for D.C. to meet the rest of the Peace Corps gang. By the way, here´s a picture of the family together on one of the last nights...how cute.
On Wednesday of next week we will be spending our first night in Honduras, each of us with our own host family. For those of you who I have not been able to speak to recently, here's a very brief breakdown of how things will go (as I understand them): we arrive in the capital, Tegucigalpa, on Wednesday but leave immediately for a small town by the name of Santa Lucia. That is where we will all be for the next three months, on and off, for training given by the Peace Corps. Only after training is complete sometime in May will each of us be told where in the country we will be living for the next two years. So, before I forget, here is the address we can receive snail mail at for the next three months:Cuerpo de Paz
Apartado 3158
Tegucigalpa, Honduras C.A.
You'll notice, of course, that the address says Tegucigalpa. In no way does that invalidate what I described as our living situation above. Hows that, you ask?! I don't know, I just don't know.
Please don't ask me follow up questions.
Finally, I will miss all you guys and gals very much. And really, it's because of the adventurous and talented friends that I have made over the years that I am going on this trip in the first place. Please feel free to mock this blog at every available opportunity, write snail mail, and yes--visit me. As cool as each of you punks thinks you are, I know very few of you that have actually been to Honduras yet. Don't think of it as a trip to see me but as an adventure to Central America...for yourself.
So I go now to wrestle with my suitcases and see just how hard this is gonna be. Much love, we'll talk soon.

Joe - your blog makes my nipples hard. Good luck in Honduras buddy. Look out for Montezuma's revenge.
hombre por favor
BYE JOE JOE!!!!!
good luck
Cliff looks sketchy... i wouldnt trust him..
A few things:
1)Bacon, Montezuma is to Mexico as someone else is to Honduras. I'll keep you posted on that.
2)I saw BH tonight, and he told me he's not actually going into the Peace Corps, he just decided he didn't want to stay in touch with any of his BC friends and didn't know how else to get rid of us.
3) BH, I miss you already.
4) Does Cliff know that the character in Brokeback Mountain was based on you? Weird.

Here goes nuttin'
Bueno suerte, hijo. Vamos al fiesta de la dia del Valentine. l,m
You're on your way,and good luck. Your references to "Arrested Development" episodes will become less frequent since you no longer have direct access to the entire 3 seasons colletion. Work on your "Chicken Dance"....
Okay, where's the self-involved and narcissistic update? You've been there 4 whole days, get on it!

Seriously, after this kind of wait for an update, there better be a story about having to climb an ancient Mayan ruin to the lone cybercafe in honduras. Or something. So long as it's not a lame excuse like "i was in training" or "i was doing work already" or "i was kidnapped by a gang," we might keep reading. As it is, you've dug yourself into a pretty serious hole already.
Just something to keep in mind.
Also, I've done some research, and you're the third tallest man in central america. Congratulations.
And now, what we all came here to see.. PORN!
