Day 26, July 25, 2011

Today must be a Monday, when (according to the saying in Honduras) not even the hens lay.  We spent the morning doing chores and poking around the house.  Late morning Corita and Raquel headed out to do some shopping, only to discover the mall had more shops vacant than in use.  We have yet to determine the cause of this abnormality, but it was quite shocking!  We lunched on golden trout, a first for the kids.  Afterwards we went back to the library where they were holding an art program for Joel’s age.  Nancy and Corita got caught up on their emails and researched some upcoming activities on the free internet (time-use limited).  Raquel and Joel each found a new good book.  Later, Corita took Joel and Raquel to a community pool located about 8 blocks from where we are staying.  None of us were up to the water slides, but Raquel used the diving board.  Then, Joel decided he could jump off the diving board, too (first time), except once he got out there it seemed pretty far down and the water seemed pretty deep.  He bravely asked a teenager who was in the pool if he would catch him, and the teen nicely agreed.  Little did the fellow know that Joel was going to jump nearly on TOP of him!  Thankfully, the guy was a good sport as Joel kept asking him for the same favor which they repeated for a total of four jumps.  Amazingly, the guy didn’t drown or even seem tired of the activity.  Joel sure wasn’t either, but it was time to leave.

After dinner Pastry Chef Raquel culminated her cherry project by making a delicious cherry cobbler!  Boy, are we lucky!!
