Finally... more pictures!

Piñata party at my house!


View of Lake Yojoa from the nearby national park. The lake is about a 30-minute drive from my site (in a car… in a bus it can take about three times as long)

Folks from the youth tourism group in front of the welcome sign they made. Amazing what an organized group can do—if only they’d show up for meetings they could do so much more!

Me and my bestest bud/next-door neighbor on her birthday.

Picture from my bestest bud’s property, with coconut and izote trees aplenty. She says the izote (the spiky-looking tree) is revered in El Salvador as a sanctified plant and noone dares disturb them; in Honduras they eat the blossoms. Go figure.

Me and my dear friend/ex-host sister. Can you believe she’s just 15?
