Pooper Scoopers

I started my day with a quick swim in the pool at the Hotel Quan. Had to turn on the filter and skimmer myself then had the pool to myself. We are pretty big time at the Quan, our room happens to be poolside.... the pool is in the parking lot!
After breakfast and before heading to the hogar, we stopped at a grocery store to pick up supplies for the week's lunches. It was a cool excursion to a new and very clean Honduran grocery store. FYI- the "meat" department is a little different than our Cub back home as are many of the great products they offer.
You can't even imagine the job that Evan, "the Brave One" and I attempted today. At the end of the great wall of the hogar (that others got to tear down- see the pics on that) sits a row of outdoor toilets. Quite nice in outchouse terms... at least at one time. As they had been unused, but well backed up- cleaning out these rancid recpetacles was not for the faint of heart. Thanks to Michelle's ingenious dust mask with a handy wipe inside, the smell was almost tolerable! I only had to wretch and gag for a short while and remarkable, nothing actually came up. Alas, the job was left for another day. We have photos, but I'm sure they are much too disgusting to post. Pooper Scoopers Unite!
Enough for now- I get to go hang out with some kids. I'll tell you about Rey (King) a bit later. he is too cool!

Peace from Honduras-
Mitch
