Well, you may have expected that it is hot here in La Ceiba. You are right. It is usually about 90-95 degrees during the day, I think, and then about 75-85 degrees at night. The thing about the heat here is not so much that the temperatures are higher than say, Tulsa, or that the humidity is quite high either. What really makes it seem hot here is that most of the houses are not air-conditioned and so you cannot escape the heat. Our bedroom hovers around 86 degrees each evening and is just as humid as it is outdoors. The windows are open 24/7 and the breeze helps a bit, but it is quite sticky.
At first the girls seemed extra grumpy and fussy, we think because of the heat and humidity all the time. But they are doing better now as we continue to adjust to life here. We still can't believe that we are here for quite awhile. It is a surreal feeling to know that we are staying until September. I start school tomorrow so I am very excited! My prayer is that God would open my mind to be able to learn quickly!

Matt,
When you said, "the girls were grumpy", I thought you were just excluding yourself...ha, ha. We can really identify with not escaping the heat. It is a real drain. Drink lots of water. You'll adjust.
Love,
Alex
I thought you might be able to identify... although Sudan was probably MUCH hotter--here it is not over 100 yet...
