This month's chapel hike

We had the monthly chapel hike yesterday and 108 people participated this time -- the largest group yet. We hiked a total of about five miles, with the village where we dropped off the food about halfway through the trip. The weather couldn't have been better, and we had a chance to stop at a ruin site on the way in.

We walked on a dirt road most of the way, except for the trail we went down to the ruin, so it was a pretty easy walk.







I really don't know anything about the ruin. We heard it was originally a Mayan site, and if it was, it was poorly restored. The concrete in the stones was obvious.



In the end, some people in need at the village received a lot of food, mostly flour, rice, sugar and oil.

Soggy

It's been raining for a few days, so I decided to go to Tegucigalpa for a Mental Health Weekend. It's not that I have been going crazy, but it's a good excuse to sleep in a big bed and have my own bathroom for a couple days. I'm easily entertained.

It hasn't been raining non-stop, but pretty close. We got a break this morning, but it's pretty overcast, so it'll probably start again soon. I guess that's why they call it the rainy season.



That's the view from the hotel a few minutes ago. The low clouds have been a constant companion for quite a few days. It does keep the heat down.
