How to make Pupusas

Diana's Parents visit Honduras!

My students were able to meet my parents and ask them questions about how i was as a kid. They loved it!




My parents brought them a little gift, giant pencils. They also loved those and used them to take notes the rest of the day.
My students are currently reading the book "Frindle" so in honor of the book (those of you who have read it will appreciate this photo) they all held up their pencils and said "Frindle"








Scared to be in Mr. Camp's class




The school has been decorated for Christmas. Here is a picture of my parents posing next to some decorations.

Cristo Picacho

Up on a mountaintop overlooking all of Tegucigalpa is a beautiful park that is home to Cristo Picacho, a giant statue of Jesus. Ben and I have yet to figure out where the name Picacho comes from or why the statue was given that name. But I do know that it is a funny word to say!
Within the park there is the central area where one can see the statue, and there is also a small zoo that has quite a variety of animals including, many monkeys, one jaguar, one leopard, 2 sloths, some peacocks, crocodiles, deer. There was also weird animal that's sort of like a small hippo (it was pretty ugly, it looked like a pig with a small elephant snout and loved being in the water) the name of this ugly thing is escaping my mind right now, so I will just go ahead and call it a 'pigliphant'. (We weren't able to take any pictures of the pigliphant.)





Our friends German and Claudia took us to Picacho one Sunday afternoon and it was a beautiful day, as you can see in the pictures. Seeing the entire city from up high just makes you appreciate what a beautiful city Tegucigalpa really is!
