| 🌴We've got a lov-e-ly bunch of coconuts - and kid-nuts too!🌴 |
Three weeks of talking, shopping, planning, teaching, helping, and lots of connecting here in Sandy Bay, Roatan, Honduras. It feels like forever. It feels like a blink of an eye. Some days go mostly as planned and some days - hang on! If you'd like to see some of what we've been up to, take a browse through this photo blog.
Visitors
We've been trying to catch up with people since we've returned. Many come to our gate, or we see them out and about or at their houses. Some of you will recognize some of these faces.
 |
Oscar, Jessie and Jacee brought their appetites for their visit.
We enjoyed food, conversation and much catching up.

 |
| The cilantro patch has become a popular place to entertain visitors. |
 |
| We always enjoy when Maribel and friend/sister come by. |
 |
| Greicy brings a big smile with her visit. |
Back-to-School
The last two weeks of January we usually spend helping students get ready for school. This is such a fun thing to do, especially when we get to help shop. Shopping is good!
 |
| Shopping at the Uva, in the Colonia, is one of our favourite places to Back-to-School shop. |
 |
| The Moya girls like shopping and pretty things. |
 |
| Geyzi is not your usual shoe shopper. She picked the first pair she tried on! |
 |
| Four of the five kids from this household start school this week. Little Matthew? It will be a few years. |
 |

Our Work Time
 |
| Class-time - English lessons at the table, and computer. |
 |
| I asked Larry to get some pictures of his work. So - a selfie. He tells me he is not sticking the screwdriver in the outlet. Happily, there is no service available yet. |

Church Time at Son Rise
 |
| Sunday morning with the family. |
 |
| We are so thrilled to see Lionel serving in the service with Pastor Ivan. |
 |
| The church-truck has a load. |
Things That Make Us Laugh
 |
| This orange Christmas tree has been for sale for almost as long as we have been here. The display goes up early, and was still there the second week in January. Yes! Makes me laugh! |
 |
| For a few years, people have watched this three-storey structure being built. As the craftsmen added sea-themed embellishments we wondered what attraction it would house. Apparently, selling miscellaneous items in tiny shops won out. A year ago, the crown jewel was added on the top. |
 |
| 8 pouches of honesty per box. Grape, berry, or apple. And organic! I want a crate of this! |
 |
| Can you see it? Check out the close-up. |

Things That Bring Us Joy
 |
| A classroom full of kids. |
 |
| The view from one of the hill-top houses. Bella vista! |
 |
| Same hill-top house looking another direction. Breathe taking - literally and figuratively! |
 |
| The view from our perch is pretty special too. |
 |
| Re-creation at the beach is a special gift to us. |
