Mercedes Ocotepeque

...my 5 year-old buddy Ingrid!...
...Honduran tradition....a Quincienera, 15th birthday party (sorta like a 'coming into society' party)
..friends in Mercedes!...
...my kitchen!...
...a little boy in my town...
...if there's ever fruit and vegetables in my town, I buy them from the lady here...this is almost across the street from my house...
...a view of Mercedes..

...typical house in my community...
...community meeting about clean water projects...
...priceless...
...at my friend's house.....my kitchen, again...

the greenery that I am blessed to see everyday!
an example of the creatures near my bed....not so blessed
...apparently it's normal to have cake fights at birthday parties, it's already happened twice here...these are two really good friends.
Nevermind that I{ve never seen this fruit...check out those bugs!
After attending a meeting in Gracias Lempira we went to the hot springs, so beautiful!
