We've finally landed! But the trip is far from over. After a four hour drive to NYC, then a short overnight at the Pierson's house. We flew out from Newark at 0500. Talk about red-eye. Then we landed in San Pedro Sulo Airport at Noon. The drive in the church's van took another 5+ hours and we finally got to our destination of La Ceiba at 5:30pm, tired but happy.
Funny, but our first stop was for lunch at a newly constructed mall just outside of San Pedro Sula. This was very beautiful and the view of the mountains through the windows caught my eye.
The Piersons: Tony, Desiree and Samantha. There are two other Piersons who stayed home to work and go to school.
The family I am staying with has 5 members, a mom, dad and three kids. Here are the mom, Erika, and two youngest children Christian, age 6 and Andrea, age 3. Both are adorable and very precocious. They keep me very entertained whenever I am home. Erika is 28 years old and we've had many great conversations (all in spanish of course!)
Here's a little of the food we ate when we first arrived. It's called Pupusa.
Pupusa involves heating a tortilla filled with cheese and/or meat and placing the carmelized onions seen above, on top. It's simple, but good and a typical Honduran dish.
The first dinner with the family. They were so hospitable and dinner was very yummy! There was also an extra visitor, which seems to be very common. This older gentlemen came over to study the bible with Daniel, the host family's dad.
