Traveling with Friends

In order to satisfy our visa requirements, we had to travel every three months to a non-bordering country and stay out of the country for 72 hours. Sometimes, we could get a month's extension. The nearest places that we could travel to were Mexico, Belize, or Costa Rica. We would make the best of the requirements by traveling with friends and having lots of fun! Here is a photo of some of my friends in Copan, Honduras. We are on our way to Mexico. Three of the girls in this photo are my three roommates and Caroline, in the purple shirt, is a friend of ours who teaches at a nearby school. Marlon is our "jack of all trades" friend who has been very helpful to all of us. He graduated about 5 years ago from the CEE school that we now teach at. His English is VERY good! He is now studying to be a dentist at a university in Tegucigalpa.
