First Two Days

Hello everybody! It's my second day in Honduras, and things are going very well. The connecting flight in atlanta was delayed an hour yesterday because they had to find and remove some luggage, but that was the biggest adventure. I arrived successfully in San Pedro Sula, where Mrs. Rubi (my original contact here) and a woman from the orphanage drove me to El Progreso, where COPPROME is located. At the moment there are only 30-40 kids because of financial trouble, with the oldest being 16. I got my own room with a bed and a fan, that looks like this:

















It's simple, but comfortable. This is what the grounds look like:







Then Mrs. Rubi and her husband Andy took me out to see El Progreso and get some dinner. Dinner was baleadas, a big flour tortilla filled with stuffings, in my case, carne, huevos y queso. Or for anyone who isn't up on their spanish, beef, eggs, and cheese. It was quite delicious. Here are some pictures of El Progreso, going from the outskirts of the city into the heart:
















So that's El Progreso, a city of about 90,000 and very lively on a Saturday night. It has cooled off to an acceptable temperature now, so it isn't like a sauna, but it is still hot. I hope you enjoyed my update, and I'll continue keeping everyone updated!
