Tegucigalpa Visit
Im here in the capital city but only for a moment more. I arrived yesterday around 4pm in the afternoon and went staright to a skin specialist here in the city. I have had a strange rash develop on my right hand over the past 2 weeks and it was finally time to check it out and peace corps agreed. I found out the I have phytophotodermatitis.... whatever that is. I guess what happened is that at some point acid from a fruit such as mango or lime or lemon made its was onto to my knuckles on my right hand. The acid combined with exposure to direct sunlight equals starnge weird dark brown stains all over my hands. What's weird is that is has been growing but they said that can happen.... good news... my hand will be back to normal in 2 months. So in the meantime I will be looking kinda starnge but thats about it. Anyways I was able to get a trip to Teguz and I visited the mall here which was the largest and nicest mall ive been too and I went ans saw a movie in the movie theatre.... kind weird just walking around by myself but it was a nice change of pace because we dont get to much private time in training. Im off soon to La Paz to meet up with my companeros and continue training. Keep in touch!
