The Birthday Love

A birthday card from Sara

We've made it to the remote town of Santa Lucia Honduras. We know it's remote, not because it took us 6 buses from the Guatemalan border to get here, including the last one which took 5 hours to go 40 miles, but because whenever we told people where we were going, they looked at us with either that "I don't know what the hell you're talking about" look or the "You gringos are freakin' crazy" look.

But now that we're here, we couldn't be happier. The little town is gorgeous, Meg started her rotation today, and we have to sleep in different rooms to respect the Christian sensibilities of the locals (okay, we could be a little happier about that part). But it's great to be here, and we're settled in enough to be able to catch up on our stories and photos from the last few weeks.

Exhibit A: a birthday card from Sara, our rockin' neighbor in Oaxaca. Sara's actually got a great boyfriend back in Greensboro, and given the choice, would probably much rather grab Meg's butt than Rahul's (but then again, who wouldn't), but she sure knows how to make an old man feel like a playah. We're hoping that Sara's search for a Master's program in Mexican history dramatically collides with Meg's search for a rockin' internal medicine residency and we all land in the same place. Hey Sara, move to the West Coast! Please!
