Exploring….and BEYOND!

HOLA!
We are so sorry for the late update. We have been so busy and whenever we find time to update, we seem to not have internet capabilities! We have so much to recap for you so here we go!

Guancoscos: This little resturant/ hotel is where we have been eating all of our meals. The view and the coffee is spectacular. The women who owns this hotel is a dutch women who has English as her 3rd language, after Dutch and Spanish. We have found out that many doctors who visit Gracias from West Michigan stay at Froni’s hotel! What a small world!

The Tour Of Gracias: On Saturday morning we were able to go out an explore the city of Gracias. Man, was it busy on a Saturday morning! We were able to split up into groups and do what ever we felt excited about! Some of us went to the city’s museum, some in search for soccer balls, some in search for iced coffee… we all were successful in our searches. The city of Gracias is beautiful, colorful buildings and colorful people. We were all able to meet in central park and enjoy a snack and the beautiful church in the center of town.

Youth Group: After our city tour we were ready to hike to the castle (the oldest thing in Gracias) to enjoy some time with the youth group. Exciting, challenging, fun and energetic are all words that our 8th graders say summarize our time with the youth group. After frisbee golf, centipede and capture the flag we got our fair share of play time in! Did we mention that capture the flag was with water balloons! The youth group leaders were so excited because there were over 20 students who showed up to hang out with the youth group. We were so excited to hang out and make new friends along side a castle!

Hot Springs: After a STEEEEEEEEEEP ride down to the hot springs in a bus we finally arrived to one of the coolest things we have ever seen! The hot springs were pools that were filled with naturally hot water that was fed from a VERY hot natural spring. The water was coming from a crack in the earth where the heat was the most intense and then it trickled down to fill the large pool. There was an intense game of water polo that ended with a tie, of course. After a fantastic Honduran meal, cena tipica (typical dinner), we headed back to our new “home” and crashed. It was a busy and fantastic day.
