For our last visit to Embarcadero this trip we had an afternoon fiesta (party). We had gotten a lot of rain the night before, so the road to Embarcadero was definitely impassible this time. We hiked the mile in this time with our arms loaded with fiesta supplies: gallons and gallons of soda, a cooler full of ice, 3 cakes, and a whole lot of candy.

Lula and Christina made pinatas and little did we know they take pinatas mucho seriously here in Latin America. The men of the village spent more time setting it up just right than I have ever seen and here they turn it into a big game. All I ever remember doing is hanging it up, putting on a blindfold and going after it with a stick, but here one of the adults moves it up and down so it lasts a long time. After the pinata we had cake and soda and then began saying our goodbyes. Maximo, the father in one of the families we built the latrine for/with brought out his new Spanish study Bible that Cat gave to him and gave us a Pentecostal blessing. Then we made the long walk back through the mud to the van.

Today is a final day off, which we all really needed. We are in the small coastal town of Tela. We got breakfast at a hotel/reseraunt, and they said we could use the internet here as long as we want. So I am sitting at the beach right now blogging while in Honduras for the last time. I'll probably say more about the trip when we get home, and I may add some more pictures this afternoon, but other than that, I'll see you in the States. Adios!
