Roughing it in Honduras

These are all pictures from our hotel.  It was about 10 minutes from where we worked each day.  It sat on a gorgeous lake and had tropical flowers and beautiful landscaping everywhere.  There were orange trees and ginger plants everywhere along with tropical blooming flowers of every kind.  We were served buffet style for breakfast and dinner each day.  The food was incredible and couldn't have been better at a 4 star restaurant in the states.  

This is a picture of a steak dinner we had one evening at the hotel.  The steak was covered with this pico de geiyo (I have no idea how to spell it) topping that we all loved.  Sides were fresh potatoes, steamed vegetables and a beautiful green salad.  Lunch was served by the beautiful ladies of the Pena Blanca church who worked tirelessly making us feel welcome and comfortable e

ach day. They served us their best each day.  They would begin cooking by hand at about 10 am each day and would serve us at about 12:00.  As we would eat, the people would wait patiently outside for the medical providers to return.  They wanted to make sure they would not loose their place in line.  

Here Janet and Dan rest from their tireless work in Pena Blanca.  Dan set a new pace for building a house in Honduras.  Once he met the woman who carried the supplies and saw how excited she was to have a home, nothing was going to stop him from getting her house completed.  Not even the Honduras Tropical Storm 2008!
