Here are some of my daily sights. First, mi cuarto, my living space:
Note especially the very appreciated fan! My favorite spot is the porch outside where I do my tarea, homework:
There is usually a breeze. Below my room is the panaderia, bakery. Rosita, the mother, is known in Copan for her baked goods. Here Rosa and her daughter Gilda are making empenadas, a Honduran delicacy that I enjoyed for supper last night.
Yes, I do go to school! Here is where I spend my mornings, one on one, cara a cara, with my teacher Iliana:
At noon I walk home for lunch. My house is on Calle de Cuesta--Street of the hill or slope. It is well named:
I am getting my exercise, that is for sure.
Last night I enjoyed an evening talking with a fellow student, Paul, a student at Notre Dame who will be working at an orphanage this summer. Old guys like me don't get to have in depth conversations with interesting young people often enough. It was a treat.
I must be learning--it gets a little easier every day to speak with others. Yay!

If it were me, I'd never leave that breezy balcony. Looks like paradise!
