We had the joy of sleeping in abit this morning after our long day of travel yesterday, so we so happy to have a relaxing start to the day.

Breakfast was brought down to us in the guest house and was a nutricious start to the day.

Erika came for us to drive back to Tegucigalpa for church at St Mary’s Cathdral.   Some of the students came with us, which is a real special outing, as it is not always possible to get into the city each Sunday.  We were so happy to worship with our Spanish speaking friends, recognizing so much of the same service that we know at St Luke’s.  We were so welcomed and recognized from the years past.  

With the 5 children we had with us, we stopped and picked up pupusas (a Honduran favourite) and drove to Cerro Juana, a lovely park with a central viewpoint of the surrounding city.  It was busy to get to the park as we had to pass the futbol (soccer) stadium where the Sunday futbol game was gearing up.  This is a soccer country indeed.

On our way home, we went to the grocery store and were given the task of seeing how much we could buy with the 500 lempira we were given.  We tried to meet the challenge, but failed badly.  While prices are lower than what we pay in Canada, we were still ble to get a lot of fruit.  Papayas, pineapples, melons.  And the mangos which we picked  up at the fruit stand at the side of the road on the way home from the airport yesterday.

 
We had a bit of down time and have to find the right places to capture the WiFi.  Forgive us for not getting our posts out daily, as we are having difficulty with the WiFi.  We will attempt to send something each evening.
