Arrival of the Fittest 2-4-07
Four suitcases, and two participants short we made it to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The day consisted of missed flights and lost luggage but the majority of us are here and the stragglers will be here tommorow.
After gathering our bearings we made it to the Portal de Angel Hotel in Tegucigalpa. The hotel is majestic and offers us peace and tranquility especially after such a long red-eyed filled day.
We started our trip by commencing to listen to a local historian give us an overview of the History of Honduras. Many questions were asked and many topics were discussed. The speaker really went in depth into some sobering topics that we will witness first hand throughout our adventure. In this hemisphere Honduras is the fifth poorest country with 70% of its poeple living in poverty. Access to water and access to health services are just a few things that are limited or non-existent for these people. Tommorow we will venture out into some nearby communities to witness first hand what micro-credit is doing to help alleviate poverty in Honduras.
After all the hustle and bustle in this day of travel our guest helped us realize at least one important thing, we have finally arrived and it is time to understand this unique and beautiful country. I hope you stay tuned to learn more about our travels.
Hasta Pronto!
