Sunday in Honduras was a good day! Of course, due to our late night the day before we rose a bit late in the morning. We had a breakfast of French toast at the hotel before embarking for Tierra Santa.

Once at the home, we were greeted by shining, smiling faces. Everyone had a chance to just hang out a bit and get to know some of the kids. And yes, this is easier for some then others. Heather and Tricia reported feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the kids and the fast Spanish-speaking going on. Early feelings of “too much” are quickly replaced with feelings of being right at home, however.

At lunch time, we were treated to a full meal at the home of Iris and Santiago, complete with tamales, beans, tortillas, plantains, pico de gallo and more. It was wonderful and we all pigged out.

Following lunch the kids of Tierra Santa performed a program for us. They sang, they danced – it was a good time. Some of the dances were traditional to Honduras while others clearly had more of an MTV influence. In one dance, some of the women from our group were even pulled up to join in. Erin, I must say, did a nice rendition of the Electric Slide.

In the evening, we stopped at the wood shop to order some hand-carved souvenirs then had a wonderful meal in Comayagua. Sunday was a great day, but Monday will be even better, no doubt!
