Here are some more people working on their design. 

On Good Friday we ventured to the Center of Tegucigalpa to see the elaborate sand carpets. The people spend hours carefully placing the colored sand into thier design. Later in the afternoon a processonal walks across them as they make their way to the Catholic Church.  

Here is a picture of some folks snorkling on the reef. 

Sunset at West Bay. We really enjoyed the the beach at West Bay. Not only are the sunsets awesome, but there is a reef just off the beach were you can go snorkling. 

On Monday we left for the island of Roatan. We had a great time there. This is Susan when we arrived at the airport. 

On Sunday we went to Valle de Angeles to do some shopping and to eat at our favorite restaurant, El Anafre. They have the best bean dip at this place.  

Susan's sister and brother-in-law came to visit us during Spring Break. Susan and I waited at the end of the runway to see them land. 

We had crazy hat and shoes day before Spring Break. This is one of my students in the hat she made for the event. 

Teacher's Retreat 3-9 to 3-15

Semana Santa

I know it has been a long time since we have posted anything but we have just had many weeks of straight teaching. So it is a lot of the normal routine. Now we are on our Spring Break so we have a week off from school. Today Susan's sister and brother in-law arrived from Texas. We watched their plane fly at noon and then picked them up at the International Arrivals. We spent the day showing them around our house and a few other places in Teguc. And Henry would like you to know that as we were driving back from the Mall we saw a bunch of vultures eating a dead dog.

On Monday morning we are leaving for Roatan for a couple of days. We are looking forward to spending some time on the beach. We are staying at Island Pearl Resort, I hope it is as nice as the web site shows.

Right now it is raining here which is a surprise because it hasn't rained since before Christmas. Maybe this is a sign that the dry season is over early. Usually the rains do not come until May?

Well, we will write more and have some pictures after our vacation.
