Rojo es el nuevo blanco

For K and I’s last two weeks in Honduras we are traveling to other parts of Honduras to teach the workshop in four different locations.  A side effect of traveling to teach more workshops is that we get to see other cool places including la playa at Tela and Copan ruinas.

K and I first went to Tela, Honduras.  We taught the workshop in 8 hours (instead of 16) over two days.  Fifteen people from the two branches in Tela came to at least part of the workshop.  It was neat to see how much everyone appreciated the workshop.  I felt like we were able to really help them a lot.

 
When we haven’t been teaching we’ve been enjoying our time here mucho.  We spent a lot of time at the beach- which, by the way, was right behind our hotel. We also decided to go see the muey that was down a little ways.

We got very sunburned.

Yesterday we rented bikes from the hotel and rode into town.  We’d gone into town just to teach the workshop, and C’s dad gave us a ride there and back each time.  It was nice to go in by ourselves and see what it was like.  Tela is very different from Tegucigalpa.  The streets have way more space here, so the traffic is not so crazy.  Tons of people ride bikes to get around here.  It’s really hot and humid here, too.  It hasn’t seemed too hot as we’ve been in the ocean, pool, and our air conditioned room, but I thought that it would be really hot going into town.  Riding bikes into town turned out to be a very good choice, though.  We ate at a restaurant on the beach.  I’ve now eaten fish and tajadas for three days in a row.  I love it.  

We left Tela this morning.  Pres. M gave us a ride to the bus station in his truck.  We rode in the back, and as any gringo would do, we took pictures along the way.




Adios Tela.  Hola La Ceiba.
