Climb a mountain then eat fried food

We drove out to a national park near Lake Yojoa to climb a mountain in search for a waterfall. It was a beautiful trip up, although a little tiring because it was hot and humid -- and we were climbing a mountain. Here's a view from ridge we walked across.



We never found the waterfall, but we did find this pineapple growing in the wild.



After the climb we decided to get some lunch at a restaurant on the lake. I went for the fried chicken (in Spanish I mistakenly ordered chicken-fish -- I need to work on that) and my daughter ordered the fried fish. They fry Tilapia differently here than they do in most restaurants in the states. She said it was delicious.

Mountains in the early evening

The day kind of got away from me and I didn't shoot any photos, so on the way to dinner, I took a quick shot of the mountains. The base is nearly surrounded by mountains, and clouds like this have come in every night I've been here. We also start to get a nice, cool breeze in the late afternoon and evening.





Local birds, by the thousands, also come in and roost as the sun starts to set.  It appears the trees by my quarters attracts the most birds. The volume  is difficult to describe.

I tried the coffee this morning and it was very good. It's strong, but that's how I like coffee.

I'm going on a mission to El Salvador later this week, so I'll come back with some photos, and hopefully an interesting story or two.
