11 things about Honduras you should know:

 

  1. Get ready to spend some mulah. When it comes to spending money, you will most likely spend it all on food. Future Racers beware…you will find a Popeyes, Mcdonalds, Burger King, Dunkin Donuts, Espresso Americano, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Applebees, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday, and Subway in Tegucigalpa. And then some. My advice: Indulge. Go ahead and get that white mochaccino supreme. Do it in a way that doesn't scream "Merica" or during an inappropriate time (You'll know what I mean) (i.e.: spending tons of money in front of people you serve)…but whenever you have the chance, soak up a little blessing from the Lord.
  2. Rocks. So many rocks. If you are Landscaping this month, which, there is a 90% chance that at some point you will be…get ready to do a little heavy lifting. Honduran soil is 70% rocks and boulders. So that little rock you just found the top of that you are determined to pull out of the ground? Get ready to get 7 men to help you pull out a boulder that goes 4ft deep. It'll happen. Be careful not to roll your ankle when walking too. That's a bummer.
  3. Roosters are the spawn of satan. Do not…I repeat…do not…put your tent by the rooster cage just because your tent will be in the shade all day. It's a trap. And you will be woken up at 4am. 
  4. If you brought a hammock, you are doing it right. Sleep in it. Under the stars, every night you can (Mosquito nets are advised). It blessed my socks off last month…and I've never slept better on the race so far. 
  5. The rice and beans are amazing. I didn't get sick of them once the entire month. Just try it. You'll probably like it.
  6. Hold the handle down when flushing the toilet. Ain't nobody got time to flush your poop down the toilet because you were impatient. šŸ˜‰
  7. Internet is few and far between. So, if you are like me…and love to make videos and post photos…just abandon the ability to post those for the month. Anytime you do get internet will usually be with your entire squad and 50+ people on the Applebees wifi will make it a tad bit slow. Also, if you know someone hasn't gotten to FaceTime or Skype yet because of the slow internet, prefer your brother or sister and let them on. I've spent all day at the mall and finally got to FaceTime the last 10 mins we were there because the internet was toast all day.
  8. Ant's are the spawn of Satan. 
  9. The chicken shack down the street from Tony's is AWESOME. Get the Pollo and Papas Fritas. It comes with 1/4 of a chicken and some awesome fries. You can comment below how thankful you are for this tip.
  10. Invest in the kids at Tony's. You won't regret it…and it means more to them than you will even know. 
  11. Malaria Meds are a good thing to remember if you are a team that goes to Gracies. Also, drink plenty of water. Plenty.
