Sixth Graders from Two Schools Visit Mayan Ruins

I helped lead a trip to visit the Mayan ruins. Students from the Discovery School in Tegucigalpa were visiting my Mayatan students. We visited the Copan ruins together. Some of the students actually let me take their pictures.

El Rubi Waterfall

We hiked to El Rubi Waterfall in Santa Rita. You can't actually see the waterfall in any of these pictures. To get there, you have to swim through deep water. My friend had an underwater camera, but I didn't, so he got the waterfall shots, not me. His pictures of the waterfall actually include the waterfall, so you should look up his blog if you want to see the waterfall. Here are some pictures of Therese, Nick and Nikki, our Honduran friend Ever, and me having a good time in the water. If you visit, I will take you here.

Christmas in Honduras

I got a hammock for Christmas! Therese and I had Christmas on January 3rd, the first spare moment we had to stop and think here in Honduras. I gave her some stuff, and she gave me a hammock! It's currently the nap-and-reading spot of choice out on the back deck. Hanging the hammock was a four-step process, documented at the left:
1. kill nasty bugs living next to hammock-hook in ceiling
2. throw lassos around hammock-hooks
3. tie hammock to lassos ("lasso" is actually what the lady at the market called these ropes)
4. relax profusely
