Friday 7.20.12


Today was our last day in town, so we went to town to get a few groceries and spent a little time searching for souvenirs. I like to buy locally when I travel and help the communities that I visit so mostly I’m trying to invest in what Larry has going on here. When we got back, it was time to go up to Instituto El Rey for the cultural event they had today! All of the schools do a performance and eat typical food to celebrate Limpira, a native indian who sacrificed his life seeking peace for Honduras. It was really cool to be a part of this at IER and I learned a lot about Honduran history and culture. These kids spent so much time on their outfits and studying their history to be prepared for the pop quiz questions they’d need to answer, it was a lot of fun to see them be so successful and to learn from them. At dinner we debriefed with a little more in depth history lesson while eating Japanese food. 
These guys were the winners!
