When in Rome, eat the beans.

There's a scene in one of the Indiana Jones movies where he and his urban princess girlfriend experience a twist of fate and are invited to dine with a tribe of previously hostile indigenous folk.  It turns into a sticky affair rather quickly because the urban princess is completely disgusted by the fare on offer, and Indy knows that she is going to offend their hosts irreparably, possibly costing them their lives.

Traffic Accident!

I was in a traffic accident last week, which, given the driving habits of Hondurans', should come as little surprise.  I would call it a motor-vehicle collision, but that's not exactly accurate, because one of the involved vehicles was horse and cart (see photos below).

Below are some photos of my kitchen, shared with my landlady Adriana.  Lastnight we made supper together, and it included some really fresh veggies bought at a local farmers' market, held every weekend here in Santa Rosa de Copan.
