We landed in San Pedro Sula around 10 pm last night after long day of travel with heavy luggage. We had three great Rotarians waiting for us despite it taking 2 hours to get off the plane and through customs. It was humid and rainy - much to the dismay of Angela's hair.
Mike is staying with a wonderful family that has 4 girls. He had many cervesas with Hugo on his first night. Angela, Laura and I have the pleasure of staying with Horacio and his lovely wife Alba.
Today we had an early start and saw el centro de ciudad. We witnessed a baptism at San Pedro Cathedral and saw the capital building. While we were downtown, we saw an ambulance that was donated to the city by the San Pedro Sula Rotary Club.
We then went to Tito's place at the beach. It was wonderful and his wife put out a grand meal. Many of the Rotarians from San Pedro Sula Rotary Club attended. After walking on the beach under overcast skies, we went to a museum and fort where the Spanish defended Honduras from British invasion. The sun finally came out. We also went to visit a project the club is working on in Omoa. There is a small village there that is growing. They are providing computers for the school, a clinic, a waste treatment facility and water supply system.
We finished our day back at the beach, watching the bright Honduran sun set behind layers of clouds and mountains. The landscape was breathtaking. Tomorrow we head out to Trujillo, a city approximately 5 hours from San Pedro Sula. Another day of new experiences, new places and new friends.
