Mucho Caliente!

We arrived in Honduras Saturday! I'll let this blog serve as a little picture story of our trip so far!

-this is me with Nury and Luis when we arrived at the airport in San Pedro Sula. Nury is our AWESOME translator while we're here. I've learned so much from her...such a cool lady! Luis is the guy I coordinated everything with.

This is Rumbatan....we bought bag fulls of this fruit from ladies on our 3 hours drive to La Ceiba! Soooo yummy!!!

This is the beach front in La Ceiba....3 blocks from where we are staying. Apparently this is not a nice beach, but I was pretty impressd! Beautiful!!!!

We arrived and had dinner and then walked around town.....there was this huge stage set up and they were doing these cultural dances. After being there only a few minutes, they had half our team up on stage....more or less making fools of ourselves and our "gringo" moves. Yes, even me! Nury got in trouble for this one! =)

 

This may not be a good picture to show for it, but we went rafting (couldn't really keep my camera on us). We jumped off some pretty darn high cliffs too! We also went on a canopy tour ( zip line)....crossing off that fear of heights now. I'll save the mud bath pics for another time. =)

 

Our team this  morning with the local Habitat saff. It was so great meeting everyone who does similar things to me, but in Honduras! They were all awesome! Thanks Bernardo for putting up with me on our trip to buy more tools/supplies. Neither of us spoke well of the others language, but it worked out..and we got at least half of what was requested!
 
 

Here is a brick wall I helped build! Yes, we sifted sand and made our own cement! It was so different from anything we do in Charleston...which is obvious....anyways....just tired and rambling! It was some serious hard work!
 
Have I mentioned how hot it is?? Not sure if/when I've ever sweat so much!
 
Internet is slow, so more pics is not going to happen right now. More to come...more to be thankful for....much more!
