We're in Honduras

We left the house early, early Tuesday morning for the airport. We shared a egg bagel for breakfast. We got to Miami OK, with a sizable layover, then on to San Pedro Sula. Andrew, Laura, and David were all waiting for us and all our bags arrived. We immediately drove to two large warehouses where SP stores 2000 metric tons of food from America's breadbasket for distribution via SP child feeding program which is carried out through 100 schools. There was a wall of vegetable oil, and mountains of flour, soy, beans.

After that, we stopped at a place for a sample of the country's typical fast food called baleada. A baleada is pretty much like an overgrown soft taco, but the tortilla tastes a little bit different. The filling can vary, but refried beans,scrambled eggs, and flavored meats are standard. I added avocado to mine. They were yummy, but very filling. We also had glasses of passionfruit juice to go with them.

Then we went to Andrew and Laura's rented house. It is a lovely place in three levels, built on the side of a big hill. We have a nice big bedroom and private bath, and an air conditioner and ceiling fan. We turned on the a/c only long enough to cool it off, then the fan was enough for the rest of the night. I exchanged some US dollars for Honduran Lempiras, about 20 to the dollar.

I had a big adventure on Wednesday, but I'll save that blog for tomorrow. And today (Thursday) I've just sat around the office and used David's computer and the office internet. I got an email from Rachel--sounds like she and Doro are getting started on the painting. Gary's project is going well too.
