After 2.5 months in Honduras I’m back in the land o’ the free and the home of the brave! What a different world here!
First, it is so cold. My last morning in San Pedro Sula was 80 degrees with blue skies. Slightly different than the 50 and 30 degree weather here in Washington. And there is snow. No snow in Honduras.
Secondly, I know people here! So many good friends to see and such little time. I’m used to friendships based on 2 months or less so it is a luxury to sit and talk with people that have known me well for 5 or more years.
And the beauty of the city is staggering. Rainier out the airplane window, the Sound, Queen Anne lit up at night, 99 through downtown, Greenlake at midnight. Stunning. San Pedro is nice but it just can’t compare.
And the food. Oh the food. Trading in the Wendy’s, McDonald’s, and Quizno’s options at the City Mall for pancakes covered in blackberries, seafood paella, duck soup, pasta, and eggnog crème brûlée is more or less a dream come true. I haven’t had beans or corn tortillas in days!
