From Tiff: Sambo Creek Honduras
"Well picture yourself in a tropical paradise of
flowers and fruits on a beautiful patio steps from a
warm ocean on a beautiful sandy beach--O.K. You have
part of the picture, now add gorgeous tropical
forested mountains rising straight up with fast
running rivers of waterfalls and swimming holes the
whole length--but wait!!there,s more-- add beautiful
friendly people who love to cook and share profusely
the tasty rich dishes of their country and you begin
to understand how wonderful the coast of Honduras
really is.
Our hosts at the gorgeous house where we are staying
are wonderful Our hostess Zulema is right now giving
Brad a Spanish Lesson and he is enjoying it
(YAAAYYY!!!). Geoff, our host is widely traveled and
spent time on Oceanographic expeditions. He and Brad
have become great buddies.
The first day here we had a wonderful Italian dinner
with ex-patriot friends of Zulema and Geoff. One
couple are fierce democrats from Texas. They came to
Honduras to escape the maddness. Geoff also has come
here now permanantly and is glad to be away. Anyway
its an expatriot group of people here that seem to be
all democrats.
Now for Zulemas gracious and inclusive family. We
shared the most wonderful mother"s day--with a huge
barbecue with home made everything including tortillas
at their private picnic property along the river. We
showered in fresh waterfalls and got to stuff
ourselves with wonderful food, lay in the hammocks and
play with the new baby. There was a sea of flowers
all around as the river cascaded thru huge boulders.
All in all a great day.
Brad is especially enjoying his stay here--It is quite
luxurious with many interesting people that speak
English. I guess at times he tires of my grubby
hostels. It is very nice for a change. Geoff and
Zulema can not do enough for us. It is weird to have
people so dedicated to showing you a comfortable and
happy time.
There are 3 more things to do here before we leave
Sunday for El Salvadore. We will snorkel at an
unspoiled place on the reef called Cayos Cachinos and
then we will go on a Zip Line thru the jungle and then
we will attend Garifuna night at Carnaval in La Ceiba.
Of course daily we must practice our Spanish."
