Had a great time in Honduras:
We saw a volcano, we visited Mayan ruins, we soaked in thermal baths, climbed Spanish fortresses, toured CRS and COCEPRADIL relief projects, saw a military base where US military and CIA personal trained Contra death squads (thanks Mr. Negroponte), saw constellations not visible in the north, stayed in a remote mountain compound.
Cha, alas, picked up the flu on the way home--no one in our delegation got the typical traveler's sickness, but three were passing a flu around.
Sleeping in the dense forest near Candelaria brought strong dreams--the dawn bird chorus was simply beyond imagining.
Now I'm ready for Peru and Yucatan!
The CRS people we met were really special--they work hard to help people build sustainable development projects, and we saw first hand the incredible impact this group (who do NOT prosletyze) has had with water projects and school lunch programs and housing and reforestation work. Send them some money if you can!
