Shopping

Yesterday I got to go shopping! Although I didn't buy anything it was a lot of fun. I went with 4 ladies whose husbands are embassy emlpoyees. Everyone was really nice and it was so fun to meet new people.
We went to a place about 30-45 minutes outside Tecuigalpa called Vaye de Angeles. They had so many shops with really awesome Honduran items. Paintings, hammocks, jewlery, carved boxes, bags, little girl dresses, scarves, nativity scenes, pottery, etc. I am going to have Joseph take me back so I can buy lots of cool things! Does anyone want anything inparticular? Just remember I'll have to bring it back on the plane!

I'm in Honduras!


I know I set up another blog but for some reason that one is on a Spanish page. I might as well keep up with this one too. I don't have much to do. Everyone thinks it's best if I never go out by myself, even to volunteer. I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to get a taxi by myself anyway.

The picture was taken of the view before going up the stairs to our apartment. Just to the right outside of the picture is the big beautiful Catholic Cathedral. I'll get a picture later.

Also in the picture you can see part of the terrace of the 7th floor. It's a big area with a grill and a sink and counter space. The apartment building also has a swimming pool on the 2nd floor.
