Lessons learned in the Honduras-Part 2

After taking the great leap back into my comfort zone, these are some of my "quirkier " memories:

-Electricity and water can peacefully co-exist in the shower-except in the Duchon's room

-On the highways and byways of Honduras, the right of way exists in this order: cows, horses and other four-leggeds, motor vehicles of any size or horsepower (including those cute red taxis), followed by pedestrians

-Don't lean on the sink!

-Britney Spears is alive and well in the Villa San Antonio, is over 6 feet tall, and has hairy legs.

-When you're a teacher, it's good to let someone else lead for a change.

-The Pepsi truck is so highly thought of, it even has its own armed guard!

-If you've had a long enough day, even a marimba band outside your window won't keep you awake.

-There's no such thing as too much Immodium

-We can successfully push taxis up a hill

-It's great to step outside the "tourist bubble" we usually travel in

-A smile from a child is the gift of a lifetime!
