Uno mas noche

Well, our time here is quickly coming to an end. We are currently at a hostel right across the street from the airport--our flight leaves tomorrow at either 12:20 or 1:20--we´re not exactly sure because Honduras has gone onto an unscheduled time change while we´ve been here.

After leaving Ceiba, we flew into Tegucigalpa where Ana picked us up and drove us into the mountains. We stayed at a wonderful little cabin owned by a German couple (their house is right next door). We spent yesterday afternoon hiking in La Tigra. We were hoping to see some exotic wildlife, but a snake was as exciting as we got. On the way, though, we only saw one other group of people--and guess who it was? That´s right, some mormon missionaries--Elder what´s his face and elder the other guy. Luckily they were in a hurry, so they didn´t try to convert us. The hike was beautiful and we saw some old mine ruins. Back at our cabin we spent the evening laying in our hammocks that overlooked the mountains and valleys, playing crib, and talking about how this was the coldest we´d been in a month--we even put on our long sleeve shirts. Dinner was homemade pizza in a little brick oven by the German couple. We sat outside on their patio as we ate and sipped our lemongrass tea, talking about life in Honduras. As we ate we saw an amazing shooting star.

This morning we had a wonderful breakfast of homemade bread, homemade jams, homemade juice, tomato, cheese, and more lemongrass tea. Then we strapped our packs on our backs and walked about 1 1/2 hours to the main road where we caught the bus into Valle de Angeles. It´s a cute little town with cobblestone roads and lots of little shops. We did some shopping, ate lunch with a woman we met from Quebec, and got on another bus to TEgucigalpa. After searching fruitlessly for some mysterious B & B we read about online, we ended up in this hostel. Soon we will eat our last dinner in Honduras, fall asleep for one more night here, and then catch a plane home.

What a wonderful trip. Don´t stop reading this blog, though, we have many more journeys to journal about (well, not tons, but Julianne will be in three states in the next two weeks, and we might be able to direct you to a site to view pictures from our trip at some point).

See some of you soon. See others of you not soon enough.

Oh--and if anyone from the Guantibitas team is reading this--we saw Adult Baby´s boyfriend!

Glory a dios. si si si.
