Friday, April 12,  2024. Travel Day

We are staying in a charming historic hotel in the middle of the historic part of the city of Comayagua.  Breakfast was in the courtyard and included the tipico breakfast of scrambled eggs, plantain, beans. 

Before we left for the airport, we had a little time to stroll, visit a few souvenir shops and have a coffee to watch the morning activity in the church plaza.  Some went to visit a small chocolateria down the street with Efren, the founder, giving us a personal tour where we learned alot about what goes into making a chocolate bar!   The cacao tree is native to Central America and Honduras is known for high quality cacao.  We can attest to that as we got lots of samples to try out.  

For $1.70, one could buy a ticket to climb the narrow staricase to the top of the bell tower.  Some good pictures for Rob to get. 

The hotel arranged transportation to the airport and so the team climbed into a van one more time.  The airport is 20 minutes away and holds some little souvenir shops to do some last minute purchasing.  On the way home with a stopover in Miami and it was here that we said our goodbyes to Mariann and Anna as they headed off to find their flights back to Washington.  It was a  joy to get to know them and share life with them for a week.  

Our head and our hearts are full of what we have experienced this week.  So much to process.  Be sure to check in again as we post more pictures in the next week.  Thank you as always, for your support and your prayers.
