I think it´s high time that I send some pictures...so here´s an update. I´ve had a great past few weeks--I´ve been very happy and very busy. I´m SOO looking forward to Mom and Dad´s visit, and so are the members of my community. They all want to meet them! It´s going to be a good week!
For Easter I went to Comayagua and watched the people make and destroy carpets out of saw dust. They were beautiful. The first few pictures are of those carpets, at about seven in the morning, after people had spent all night making them. The third picture is of the procession. The people are stepping on all the their beautiful hard work. It´s a pretty symbolic tradition.
On Saturday I went home to Planes to participate in the traditions there. So, instead of going to church on Saturday night I danced until midnight! I had a blast!
The next day I went swimming in the river. Everyone was there...The next picture is of that. On Sunday night, the ¨Jews¨ came out. People dress up in scary costumes and run around being crazy, chasing kids and dancing. It used to have more significance, but now people just do it to have fun.
The next picture is of the get up. The last picture is Christian with a big snake he killed.
