"You shouldn't eat feet at all" - Loren

Our teacher has warned us on several occasions that the kitchen at Our Little Roses has sometimes served chicken feet for meals. Yes, feet. Which is one of the grosser things we've ever heard. Apparently you don't really chew them up, you just suck on them for the flavor. Right...like that makes it better. When we got to dinner tonight we were presented with little fried things that looked suspiciously claw like...thankfully, they were just strangely shaped chicken nuggets. Chicken feet...ew.

On a much nicer note, we are leaving for Copan tomorrow after class. One of the Our Little Roses drivers was kind enough to go get bus tickets for all 4 of us today (which is good...because we probably would have ended up in Guatemala if we'd tried to buy them ourselves). We leave San Pedro Sula at 2:30pm and it's about a 3 hour ride. We'll find somewhere neat to have dinner on Friday, and on Saturday we'll visit the Mayan Ruins. In the afternoon we may go for a horseback ride or a hike (yes, Loren wants to hike to a waterfall...we'll give you a moment to recover). We are going to try to find somewhere to go to church on Sunday...we think the nearest Episcopal church might be too hard to get to, so we may go to the Roman Catholic church on the town square. We come back to San Pedro Sula on Sunday evening.

We hope y'all have a great weekend! See you Sunday...and don't worry, we'll be sure to take lots of pictures!

Loren! I love reading about your adventures. Makes me wish we still lived on the same hall in brumby. But not really.

So glad I've been able to catch up with your life on the blog - be careful, and good luck with espanol!
