"Mora" pickin

We had quite the adventure today. We had heard that there was a pick-your-own "mora" (blackberry) field just outside the city, so we took the opportunity to experience the Honduran public transportation system. ;) The house in the picture was across the road from where we picked the blackberries and seemed rather typical of the houses on that piece of road, though there were also big gated ones. We had a great day...the Lord was gracious and helped us find the bus station. And the blackberries. AND a kind bus driver on our return trip who was willing to take us aboard even though he couldn't break the bill we had. (We had tried to break it at the blackberry place...hadn't even tried at the little mountain convenience store and were running out of options. By the way, the huge, unusable bill would have been $20 US. Oh, well, we learned our lesson.) After we got back to Tegucigalpa, we went out to eat. They don't use many potatoes here, but they don't need them when they can make potato chips out of plantains. :) *see picture* We are now "home", happy, sunburned, and eating "moras". :) -Alesha
