Great first day – I guess that goes without saying!
All things went well between Minneapolis to Atlanta to San Pedro Sula. Our flights were actually quite pleasant. That is if you don’t count the heated electronic trivia game we had on the Delta flight to San Pedro.
We arrived in San Pedro to some awesome heat! And a long line going through customs. Once through the line we were greeted by about a dozen of the kids from the Hogar who had made the trip to meet us at the airport. They introduced themselves and gave each of us a wonderful little pin to attach to our shirts. It was so cute to see the kids and for them to be there for us right when we stepped foot on Honduran soil.
Our bus ride was a super adventure. It was more fun than not even though it lasted quite long as we curved and bounced through the countryside. It was awesome talking and interacting with the kids. I loved practicing my Espanol.
I sat in front of two boys from the Hogar - Gregory and Giovanni. They were so much fun! They put up with my broken Spanish.
On the drive we stopped at a fruit stand and tried some foods that most of us had never had before. The whole day was a great cultural experience!
Once we arrived in Comayagua we checked in to Hotel Quan then soon after walked just a couple blocks to a great Chino restaurant. Now we’re blogging at an Internet café. On to tomorrow!
