Our first day of Honduras Spring Break 2009 was a good one. With no flight delays we made it to San Pedro Sula on time at about 1:30 in the afternoon. This was appreciated most by me, due to our malfunctioning bathroom experience from the last trip that delayed our arrival in Honduras by many hours.
We were greeted at the airport by about 15 kids from Tierra Santa, along with Bob and some of the Tierra Santa workers. We had a great bus ride. Of course it was a long trip, but that didn’t really matter since we were all having so much fun talking with the kids. Among the kids who met us there were Leonardo, Christian, Jessica, Alba, Sindy, Sisi, Carolina, and more. What kept the kids the busiest, besides talking and eating snacks, was playing with some of the iPods that people had brought with. They were totally taken by the iPod touch.
On the way to Comayagua we stopped at a fruit stand along the road and enjoyed some coconut milk, fresh pineapple, and mini bananas. We all stood around passing the various fruits from person to person, then spent the next several minutes on the bus passing the big banana stalk from seat to seat until they were gone.
As we neared Comayagua the weather got cooler. Some people were even seen putting on a light jacket. Once in Comayagua we said farewell to our new Tierra Santa friends, settled in, then went to Meng Ying for a traditional Chinese-Honduran dinner. J Bedtime followed soon thereafter as we all had full stomachs and were all very tired after a full day of travel.
