Keyla and I had been pumped about potentially hiking to the Coca-Cola sign on the mountainside overlooking the city, but Saturday morning greeted us with rain. So we YALTers headed to the mall where we browsed the shops, got lunch, saw a movie, got some ice cream... It was good to catch up with those two!
There's a Ferris wheel inside! We didn't ride it, though
I was not expecting to see an ACE Hardware store in Honduras...
In the evening, we convened at the reps' place for a potluck dinner: tasty tacos courtesy of Lars, perfect guacamole gracias a Eliette, a yummy salad of ramen and cabbage contributed by the reps, and Rudi's glorious galletas of the chocolate chip and pumpkin-spice chocolate chip varieties!
Gotta love this crazy team!
After dinner, I made popcorn (well, popped maicillo technically) in coconut oil and we watched Ferdinand. A good movie for a group of pacifists to watch 😊
Sarah was the only team member who—unfortunately—couldn't make it to the gathering on Saturday, but she did come to SPS on Monday and stayed over so she could renew her residency on Tuesday. She took this photo of me making popcorn in the office; I wanted to try to make up for the fact that she'd missed the movie night!
Not as good a pop ratio as over the gas stove at the reps', but it worked!
This week, we have a learning tour visiting some of our partners. Lars is leading the tour along with Michael, the CPC from Guatemala, where the tour will be next week. There are about 15 participants from the US learning about migration. This morning, they visited the office and got to see the bulletin board I finished last week:
Tada! An overview of all the MCCers and partner organizations
Tonight, the whole tour group is descending on the reps' place for dinner; tomorrow and Saturday I'll get to accompany them on some partner visits with the hope to garner material for another feature or two.
