Chocobananas.

I've been in Copan this weekend, which is my favorite place in Honduras thus far. Beautiful.

Yesterday we walked around the Mayan Ruins.

This morning I went to mass by myself, and stood the whole time because it was packed. I couldn't understand anything, but it was really interesting people-watching. I liked that everyone kneeled on the cement floor, and that they all touch each other a lot. Lots of shoulder patting.

I saw my friend Sarah Shubitowski (from Calvin) on Thursday. Me and a couple others found her school and surprised her. She is an elementary teacher in Cofradia, and gave us a tour of her school. It was so good to see a familiar face.

I discovered the wonder that is frozen chocobananas with sprinkles. :)

At my host family in Cofradia, there is only running water at night, so they fill up huge barrels to use during the day. So I took my first bucket showers, which are really kind of nice. A little cold, but nice. The barrels are a neat way to see just how much water 9 people need to use in a day.

Kurt's former bodyguard/assistant, accompanies us on trips often. He is super-serious and never talks to anyone. Lots of us have never heard his voice. (He doesn't speak any English, which may be part if it). One of the highlights of my weekend was making him laugh last night at dinner. It is soooo satisfying to say something funny in Spanish. That's what its all about. :)
