for those of you …

who wondered what happened in the meantime. Yes, I am still alive, still in Honduras, and there is work to to. A weak excuse for not writing for almost one month but here we go (thanks to the requests of Pili and Moni). Keep pushing me!

Once in a while I have to go to the market in Tegus. Actually this is just one of several markets but the Zonal Belén is one of the biggest. Getting there is always hard because we start here before 5 am but once you’re there it is cool. Thousands of people (no white people or gringos whatsoever) that make it hard to understand how all this works. Now, I am just accompanying Moncho (a really cool guy from our purchasing department) and he always explains me how things work. I remember that when I first entered the market I was pretty scared. But I found out that beyond all this chaos are pretty descend structures and reliable people. I wouldn’t trust most of them though but I am not afraid to carry my camera anymore. Now, there is a Señor they just call “Caballo” (horse) and he uses to help us to carry all the things (fruits, vegetables, …). Caballo is amazing and super funny. He knows EVERYBODY at the market, is always goofing around and carry weights that some heavier than he is. Hard to describe but in one word: remarkable.

Other than that life goes on and on and on and I just have 2,5 months left here. Yesterday we had something they call “desfile” here. It is the parade for the independence day. I have to admit that I do not really enjoy parades but I took some nice fotos and it was fun. All this took place in the next town Talanga and the main road was crowded with pageants; however I had to stick to the one of our home.
