Don't let our silly title of the blog fool you! (The Roberts — a lot about nothing and then some) We began this wacky adventure with just a little information on the country of Honduras (and of the Spanish language itself), but willing spirits to commit to at least two years of working here. We are a couple of teachers who just came from St. Louis (originally from east Tennessee) to teach in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, at an international school. This is our first overseas teaching experience.
We both write on the blog — Elisa is prone to pictures, while Colin is prone to deeper commentary. Because of this blog, we are better connected friends back home, and it offers a good way to express what this short bit of time has taught us. As you read, you'll find out some of our adventures, some of our struggles, and what changes we've embraced (or are at least working on embracing). Also, every now and then we'll entertain you with some classroom stories. Teaching always offers a plethora of opportunities for storytelling. We love people and we hope you find that our blog gives you a small glimpse into how our lives have been changed because of "the little country that could."
The Roberts — not really about nothing; it's well worth checking out!

¡No deje que el nombre ridiculo de nuestro blog los distraiga! (Los Roberts — mucho de nada y aun más). Comenzamos esta loca aventura nada mas con un poco de información acerca del pais de Honduras (y del Español tambien), pero con un gran espíritu de entregarnos a trabajar por lo menos dos años aquí. Somos un par de maestros que vinimos de St. Louis (originalmente del este de Tennessee) a enseñar en Tegucigalpa, Honduras, en una escuela internacional. Es nuestra primera experiencia enseñando fuera de los Estados Unidos.Ambos escribimos en el blog — Elisa se enfoca en las fotos mientras Colin se enfoca en los comentarios. Por este blog, estamos más conectados con nuestros amigos en nuestro pais y ofrece una buena manera de expresar lo que este poco tiempo nos ha enseñado. En lo que vaya leyendo encontrará algunas de nuestras aventuras, dificultades y cambios que hemos hecho (o por lo menos hemos tratado de hacer). Además, de vez en cuando los trataremos de entretener con algunas historias de aulas de clase. La docencia siempre ofrece una plétora de oportunidades para contar historias. Nos encanta la gente y esperamos que usted se de cuenta de cómo nuestro blog le muestra la manera en la que nuestras vidas han sido cambiadas debido al “pequeño país que sí pudo.”
The Roberts — no es en realidad acerca de nada; vale la pena echarle un vistazo.
In My Utila Life I discuss the ups and downs of beach front construction and Honduran home ownership, renting vacation homes, scuba diving, nature, my boat, the locals, the gringo's, restaurant reviews, Utila Town, and my travels around the Honduran mainland. Midlife crises for some men involve fast cars and/or an affair with a younger woman, mine involved a slow boat, an incredibly patient wife, and a gorgeous beach, it's my Utila life ......... as I see it.
