Road trip to Comayagua

Yesterday I went off to Comayagua with Elizabeth. It is one of the oldest towns here - in fact the clock in the cathedral is the oldest in America, it was bought to Honduras (no idea why!) and put in the cathedral! It is a stunningly beautiful town (where I saw the sawdust carpets at Easter) and Elizabeth wanted to see it.

So we went and arranged to meet my friend Adony there - who studies at university there, and after his exam in the morning, had a free day. So the 3 of us wandered around and had a laugh. It was great for my Spanish as Elizabeth doesn't speak much Spanish (although she gets my ultimate respect for trying) and so I was translating. Elizabeth used my camera for the day and so I have all her photos. She took photos out of the car window on the way home too - which I've always wanted to do, but obviously when driving - can't!!

In Com, there is a Pizza Hut and so the 3 of us went for lunch. Now, when it is someone's birthday the staff there all come out and sing with their tambourine and you have to dance with them. It wasn't Elizabeth's birthday but Adony and I thought it would be funny if they came to sing to her. So Adony secretly told them it was her birthday and they dutifully came to sing, but alas she refused to dance with them!! Clearly it wasn't her birthday - but we found it hilarious!!



All in all a good day. Last night was volleyball night too and so I went to play...and I could!! I could actually play..amazing. The balls went in the right direction and everything. My new trainer is David - one of the older bus drivers for Providence. This whole Volley thing is great. There is a good group of us who play twice a week. Not all from Providence, we are just a group of friends from all over - so it's great. I get to meet new people, learn a sport. We are there just to relax and have fun. I actually look forward to going...who'd have thought?!
