I am currently sharing my homestay with Jonathon and we went to a local village for Pottery. Here are our efforts, not very good.
under a watchful eye. We had coffee made from beans picked in the garden, bread from maize from the garden and a banana picked from the tree.
Even the cat was not impressed. Guess which one is the teachers?
One she made earlier...
Jonathon leaves on Thursday for 3 days in Tela. He has been warned. He is spending the next four months travelling around Central America.

Hi, Dave.
Enjoying the blog. A quick thought in case you should want some reading matter. There's a title in Time-Life's Lost Civilization series called The Magnificent Maya that covers Copan. It's a basic introduction to Mayan history and archaeology. I didn't work on that particular title, although friends did. I've checked abebooks.com and they currently have copies for just $1, plus postage.
If you want a novel set in Honduras, you could try Paul Theroux's The Mosquito Coast, although I remember it as being a bit grim. Not the sort of book to attract tourists.
Look after yourself.
All the best.
Tony
Hi Tony
Thanks for the tips. A bar here shows movies on Sunday night and last Sunday it was Mosquito Coast with Harrison Ford. I cant say that I was impressed though. It is quite a romantice setting for watching films though as the movies are shown under a thatch roof of banana palms and you sit in cane chairs and you can sip cocktails also.
Its tough out here but starting monday, the alarm will be going at 5:00am as the pick up leaves at 6:00 prompt. Registration is at 6.45 and school starts at 7:00 so I feel an afternoon siesta may be necessary.
