Pena Blanca

During the week that we were in Honduras we went to/though a local town called Pena Blanca. In the United States we consider this town a spec on the map, but it was the nearest local area that had Supermarkets, pharmacies, liquor store, bakery etc. The thing that was most excited is that there aren't any traffic lights, parking spaces etc. If you're in a car and you can go, GO! There is no room for timid drivers in Honduras. It's also a normal thing for people to constantly pass you on roads, no matter the road! We went to Pena Blanca on Monday after our well baby/child clinic & after Regena, Dr. Britt Boyd, and his daughter Kathryn.

These little taxis were everywhere all over the country. Cars and gasoline are very expensive in the country so most people don't have the means to have them. So they either wait on the side of  the road for a bus or they take one of these taxis...And you'd be amazed home many people will fit in one of these taxis! I think the record we 5 people, NOT including the driver. 

We also went souvenir shopping. Some people bought presents for family and children. Several students got souvenirs for themselves including clothes, sunglasses, and hammocks. Elaine and Regena managed to find Coke Lite! This we quite an adventure for all searching for Coke because most places only carried Coke Zero or Pepsi Lite.
