Cooking

I recently sorted through my pictures from one of my trips to Honduras.  In this one you see a woman preparing a meal of fish outside.  There are a lot of details here that are very typical of Honduras.

Notice

• the tables she and the woman in the background are using
• the two chickens--common pets
• the woman's genuine smile
• the large barrel of stored rain water up against the house used for cooking and cleaning
  
• the open windows and door--Hondurans are very welcoming people
  
• the lack of grass--it's very dry in this region and hard to grow grass
• the cement block house which was whitewashed that day
  
• the plastic chair--these are used at home and in small restaurants
• the vibrant green trees
• that you are looking at half the house
