making friends...

All your life making friends is easy... until you get a stage where it's not.

First you have friends at school, then university, then work... it carries on. Now I'm at a stage where I'm not working or studying and it's proving to be harder to meet people. So, I decided to do as the people of this new decade are doing: I looked online. And it was successful. I found a networking website with postings from people in Tegucigalpa and signed up. Since then I've met two new friends, both of whom are very nice, and in a similar boat to me.

I had to chuckle at myself that I made friends online (felt like I'd resorted to online dating) and Keith's first reaction was: what if they are pedophile men. This of course did not turn out to be the case.

Through one of these friends (who is married to a half Honduran/British man) we ended up at a makeshift obstacle course for a 4x4 competition. It seems Honduras boys/men spend their time souping up their 4x4's and go around the country competing in these courses. This weekend was in Tegucigalpa. The sun was out, the beer was cold and the music playing: it was fun.
