June 26

We started the day doing some visits we didn't have time for the night before. This one lady insisted we stay longer with her since we had stayed the night at this other family's house. Hmm. Ok. Lots of tortillas that morning :) But it was good.

They finished the central park, and it was lovely. Before leaving, we took a few moments just to sit. Unfortunately, it rained the night before so the benches were a little wet. Oops. Oh, and before I forget, we were sort of awakened that morning by our neighbor in the hotel blasting his music...I say sort of awakened only because we promptly fell back asleep.



On our way out of Campamento, we ran over something somewhere between Talanga and Tegucigalpa, and got a flat tire. Oh no! I am completely useless when it comes to cars. Fortunately, we stopped in front of a road-side stand, and a gentleman and his son came to help us. It was already so hot, and the poor guy was sweating. A lot. But he was nice and we went on our way.



Once again, in my head, getting back to Tiloarque was going to be a cinch. But I always did have trouble getting out of Mayoreo and back to Tiloarque, and this time was no different...we got all the way to the stadium! The stadium isn't even in our mission anymore. So while technically we weren't lost, it would just take a bit to get back to our side. Oops. Papa Salgado talked us through it and we met up at Metro Mall. I don't know how many times they've bailed us out!

We wanted McFlurries, so it was back to Mayoreo. Oh, Mayoreo, the entertainment mecca of my mission. We couldn't resist going to Pizza Hut, for old times sake, and I had some good horchata. While it was good, I maintain that the Pizza Hut in La Granja made it better. Well, we were full from our lunch so we never did get those McFlurries. Boo.


Then it was off to Siguatepeque. That was easy. The drive was pleasant enough, and we listented to Michael Jackson the whole time.

Once In Siguat, we found a hotel and went to use internet. Haha of course we did. By the time we left, it was already dak and we went to see Hermana Betty and her family. That was fun. We ate Chinese food! We were getting the complete Honduran experience.
