The Valley of Angels

August 11

Week #7, done! We’re down to our last 2 days, but today we finally got to go to the Valle de Angeles (Valley of Angels)! We had originally planned to leave at 9:00, but we had to wait till Miriam and Mari arrived and Mari didn’t make it till past 11, so we were a bit behind schedule. Jen got a little restless because she’s been wanting to go to the valley pretty much since she got here. But we eventually made it to the valley at around 1:30 and have an awesome lunch! I got my fried fish! Yey! Head, tail, and all! I was quite satisfied. It doesn’t take much to make me happy, really. Then, it was shopping time!! We spent a whole hour in the first store we went in, mainly because it had so much stuff! By then, we only had about an hour and a half left to look around. I didn’t really buy much, I’m usually content with just looking around, but I finally got my Honduras jersey and I got bracelets for all the girls. We had a lot of fun though both exploring and sharing stories with Gracie and Papi in the car. We had a lot of good laughs.

It was raining pretty hard when we made it back. The streets in Talanga were pretty flooded. The girls and I were like, “hey! It’s just like Abilene!” haha! Everyone was glad to see us when we got back. Evelin and I watched Mary Popins with some of the girls in the family room, but she quickly fell asleep. We ended up not finishing the movie and called it a night. We had a really good time though.
