| Valle de Angeles |
This weekend was filled with a few lovely adventures. On Saturday, I slept in because I didn't need anything from the market this week. Later in the day I set off with Keiko in Rue and Ara's new car for Valle de Angeles, that we had heard so much about. We were following Abigail, Karishma, and Amanda on the road out of the city. Valle de Angeles is a lovely, quaint town that is safe enough to walk around and caters to tourists who pass through. I bought a hammock that I can hopefully hang on our balcony in the apartment! It was so much fun to walk around and see all the cute shops, next time I will have to bring more money. Several hours later is started pouring rain, so we decided it was time to head back down the mountain.

I spent last night with Abigail. She works in occupational therapy and Justin works for a health NGO in the city. She lives much further up the mountain towards El Picacho. One of her German neighbors was hosting birthday party for his friend. The German works for their environmental corporation in Honduras. I'm not certain exactly what he does, but it sounds important. I tagged along for this party and had such a great time practicing my Spanish and meeting people outside the school community. I talked with a very sweet lady from Sweden who had only been in Tegucigalpa for a week, but was soon heading out to Lago de Yojoa to volunteer at an orphanage. Hopefully, I will get to see her again in the next six months during her stay. The evening was a lot of fun!

| City from El Picaho |
This morning Abigail and I just chilled out to visit for a bit before getting ready to go to the park. El Picacho is a more informal name for the park which is maintained by the United Nations. It is a very nicely kept park where it was lovely to walk around. The statue of Christ that stands in the park looks down over the entire city. Everything was beautiful, green, and clean here. Then, it was time for a nap!
