Contrary to popular belief, Honduras is far from the stone age. Yes, the country is ravaged by poverty, crime, and currently, disease, but it is also inhabited by some of the warmest and most content people on the planet.
For those fortunate enough to afford them, Teguc is not without it's modern comforts.
For example, this ingenious little basket on wheels.

No camera can possibly explain the natural beauty of Honduras, even on the 3 hour drive to Marcala, La Paz, but here is a small glimpse into the mountains and clouds that surround us.
Please note the man in the dark blue standing directly behind and to the right of the man in the orange shirt. Look closely, he is carrying a large firearm, closely resembling an M16.We also have one of these standing guard outside our neighborhood Supermercado (supermarket), pictured above.
More to come soon, but for now, let it be known that I love it here. A special shout out to my fellow volunteers for being awesome.
