Thank God it's Sunday!
So turns out your body gets pretty used to waking up at 5:30 AM. Ben and I both woke up bright and early today, and realized we had another 3 hours before we had to get up, and that was good!
We had been invited by one of the Honduran Spanish teachers, Claudia, to go to her church. She picked us up at 9:45 AM and we met her husband, German, and two children, Geyli (pronounced Hayle) and Daniel. They are such a sweet family, they were so happy we had accepted their invitation and they introduced us to everyone at their church. It is a small house church of about 35 members, if we decide to make that our church Ben will surely learn a lot of Spanish. You can expect a picture of this sweet family soon, Claudia and Geyli are coming over Saturday night to bake a cake with me, in exchange they will teach me how to cook some typical Honduran dishes!
We got dropped off after church, and Ben and I decided to go for a walk and look for a place to eat lunch. The pictures you see above are of an uncovered drain (which are pretty common around our neighborhood), and you can also see the beautiful view that surrounds us all over; lots of green and lots of mountains. We ended up eating at a Chinese food restaurant. The food was pretty good although it didn't taste like regular chinese food, it must be the Honduran touch.
Now we are back home 'Mac Camping'
P.S. Ben really wants me to inform you all that the vice president of Honduras is a member of the church we visited today. And we got to shake his hand!!!

That is so exciting that you got to meet the VP of Honduras at a house church of all places!! You two are fitting in and making friends right and left, as we knew you would. Love the pix of the countryside! It really is a beautiful country.
ReplyDeleteThere are chinese restaurants everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYeah I agree with Paul. You gotta be careful though--my family and I went to one in Rome, where we ordered sweet and sour pork, orange chicken, and kung pao beef... only to find that they were a) all the same dish and b) primarily cartilage. Ten cuidado, amigos.
