Leaving Jinotepe, Nicaragua, at 2:30 a.m., in order to make our 6:30 flight in Managua, the night was short; in fact, some of the group members didn’t actually go to sleep. After two flights from Managua to El Salvador and on to San Pedro Sula, Honduras, we were greeted by Carolina Stewart, COP director in Honduras, and committee member, Jenny, at the airport in San Pedro Sula. It was a challenge to get all of the luggage into the church van, but we somehow managed, due to the expert skill of our driver, Kelsey.
The drive from San Pedro Sula to La Ceiba is stunning. The lush foliage set against the picturesque houses and farmland was so delightful. A blown-out tired on the van provided some excitement. Our driver handled the blowout well, and we were spared injuries or damage. A repair shop just happened to be nearby, about 100 yards up the highway. So, after our 12-year old repairmen changed the tire, we were on our way again. We arrived in La Ceiba about 4:00 p.m. After getting settled in our hotel, we enjoyed a meal together at a typical Honduras restaurant.
A long day, but a good day. We are looking forward to all that we will experience in this short time in Honduras.
