T and I traveled to Honduras with our friends Kelby and Gretchen in July 2006. We chose Honduras for a couple of reasons: we wanted somewhere cheap, T and I happen to love Central America, and we wanted a combination of beach and culture. Honduras definitely fit all of the aforementioned criteria. It was an affordable destination with a rich culture, as well as a great place for adventurous excursions. Our first stop was San Pedro Sula, which is known as the Industrial Capital of Honduras, du...
San Pedro Sula, Copan, Roatan, Honduras joann.hill12We had a mid-morning flight to San Pedro Sula, one of the cities in Honduras with an international airport. You can also fly into Tegucigalpa (pronounced Te-goo-see-gul-pa) or to the island of Roatan, but San Pedro Sula made the most sense for our route and connections. As is so common with most aircraft, there was not enough leg room for Martin. There are advantages to not being particularly tall! (Though I envy him sometimes when it comes to being able to see over peoples' heads in a crowd....
San Pedro Sula, Honduras kimandmartinAs a result of our harrowing ferry experience, Martin and I opted to fly back to San Pedro. At USD $106 per person it was well worth it and saved us quite a bit of time as, besides bypassing the ferry crossing (which I understand is rough even on good days), we didn't have to travel overland from La Ceiba back to San Pedro Sula. (Steve later informed me that he insisted on flying back to the mainland as well. I don't blame him!) We parted ways with Steve and Karen when we left Roatan. We had ...

... week and we’re hoping for good weather on Friday of course. The temps are much cooler; I measured 28 degrees at 3pm today, so that is quite mild and fresh here! In fact, I did wish at one point I had brought a jumper and had worn trousers and not shorts. I gave a lesson after school to one of the year 6 kids, Jessica, who had been struggling with science, but found she understood everything! When I asked her why she didn’t do well in ...
Cusuco National Park, Cortés, Honduras brownej... waterfall through a small gorge. There were pools to take a dip, but I confess to being a wimp and not doing much more than paddling... well, it was cold! <br><br>Anyway, I attach a few photos for you all. No real plans except a visit to Miss Betty's house on tues and thurs for spanish practice (and I teach her english), a volunteer dinner at the rocks on wed and then of course school. Life goes on!<br><br>Love to all!
San Pedro Sula, Honduras brownej... by hills and adjacent to a river; quite amazing scenery as you can see. When the light is good, it does look very green and lush. There are waterfalls nearby, but we need someone to show us the route, so we haven’t been yet. <br> <br>I’ve been spending my time, organising the science stuff I brought and writing the scheme of work. Nothing exciting, but necessary, and it will save me time during the term. I think some of the other ...
San Pedro Sula, Honduras brownej... has a dead bolt, as well as the windows having bars over them. Some of the other houses have been broken into, and its something none of us can afford to happen here. We would never walk around the town on our own at night. The town is relatively safe but we are just careful. <br> <br>The town has a lot of facilities – a bank, supermarket, cheese shops, market stalls, internet cafes (high speed links), and small grocery stores are ...
San Pedro Sula, Honduras brownejToday was crazy hectic because it is our last full day...<br><br>We spent lunch with Ninoska and her family. She made us pastelitos, which are sort of like hot pockets with seasoned ground beef inside. It was a nice visit, but rather brief for Honduran time. <br><br>Next, Deeda (one of the volunteers) took us to visit Dona Norma and her family. Dona Norma used to work at the school as a ...
San Pedro Sula, Cortés, Honduras claudiacfavre... teach the older kids! I miss my little guys! <br><br>Some of the kids seem to have made a lot of progress. It is interesting to compare the kids to what they were like last year and see how far they have come. Christian, who used to be a bit of a discipline case, was so pleasant and read to me in the library for about 40 minutes! I was very impressed but I think it just boils down to kids needing and craving individual attention ...
