La Union

Yesterday we left Gracias for the trip to La Union, our home for the next 10 months (give or take a few weekends off or holidays) We have developed a new skill during this trip, the supreme ability to pack and squash baggage for 6 people into the back and top of a pick up truck! Obviously a useful skill to have in Honduras

It was Molly's birthday yesterday and so we had hamburgers and cake at Jake's house which was really nice.. This is how Honduras traditionally cut cakes and in Jake's words 'I didn't say it made sense, I just said it was Honduran'

 We have moved into our pink house and just in the process of decorating it with flags and pictures and general homely things.. will try and get photos of it asap, but as we only have wifi in the school it may be a few days for me and Kate to organise ourselves

This is La Union, and our pinc house from the outside! We had a visit from a little crazy lady today but Kate kindly asked her to exit, and eventually she did..thank goodness!
