• Home Again Home Again

  So here I am in  the good old USA again.  The time away was very rewarding.  Here are a few pictures of my adventure in Honduras.  This is the Quinta Real Hotel where the seminar was held and where I stayed for 6 nights.
  
  

  This is the taxi that I spent 8 hours in last Sunday on my journey to the sewing coop.
  
  
  
  This is the basket on the zip line that I rode in to get to the coop
  
  
  
  I didn’t think to give my camera to the taxi driver so all I have is pictures that I took from the basket.  This is a picture of the river that I crossed in the basket.
  
  
  
  This is a picture of Rosario on the left with one of her daughters in the middle and that is Lindsey on the right.  They are holding the bags that I transported back into the states and then shipped to the conference in Washington DC.
  
  
  
  These are some of the wares that Rosario and the ladies produce at the coop.
  
  
  
  This is me and Rosario.  She is a small woman that is doing big things to help single Moms in Honduras at her sewing coop.
  
  
  
  This is a picture of me, Lindsey and the Peace Corps volunteer Suzanne at the restaurant that we ate at in Olanchito.  The taxi driver Juan Garcia took the picture.  Juan had a steak dinner and the three of us ate chicken tacos and the total bill was $10 US dollars.
  
  
  
  This is a picture of the land that I have identified as a prime candidate for the retirement community that I want to build.  I have a contact that lived in Olanchito that is looking into the pricing for a large tract of land to build on.
  
  

  That is enough for now.  I took over 300 photos while on my journey and will upload them to another site and post that later.
