Some weird and awkward things that have happened during this trip:
1. Saying a crappy “grassy-uhs” and getting better at “grrah-see-us”
2. Shaking a garifuna man’s fist bump
3. Unprofessional Business Practices: ex. last night we ate pizza at a local
restaurant. The owner came out to collect our money, but didn’t have enough change
(the amount, 20 Quetzales, is equivalent to around $2.50) He sent his son out
to get some money changed, but since it was Sunday, no luck. He left us waiting
for another 20 minutes or so while he scrounged our change. Finally he came out
with most of the money, but he was still 50 cents short! So crappy!
ex.2: nearly every time we’ve gone on a bus ride, before the main
journey has begun, the driver stops at the nearest gas station to fill up with
all of us on board!
