What I love about Honduras


  • The central park where everyone hangs out, especially just after school lets out and the huge Catholic Church that overlooks the park

  • Greeting people on the street

  • Red tile roofs & palmtrees
  • The view from my roof
  • My apartment

  • Sitting in the hammock and listening to the sound of rain on the corrugated tin roofs and how the rain cools everything off

  • Betty’s Baleadas (flour tortilla with beans, eggs and avocados and tomatoes, Betty’s are huge and delicious and cost less than $1)

  • That it is cheaper for me to call the states with my cell phone than it is for me to call within Honduras (actually I wish it was cheaper to call within Honduras, but it’s a pretty funny irony probably attributable to the fact that there are about 1 million Hondurans illegally living in the States)

  • Baths in the pila
  • Jose, the baby of the landlords, gets a bath in the pila
  • Hammocks

  • Free time (but not too much)

  • That my landlords bring in my clothes off the line when it starts to rain and I’m not home

  • Mangos, pineapple, avocados and choco bananas
