Our Home in Honduras
   

.

There have been, of course, some challenges with getting our house set up.   We are still waiting for the fontanero (pllumber) to come so that we can have running water in the kitchen, a tub that doesn't leak all over our bedroom after we take our cold showers, and someone to connect the hot water heater.  We also came back from a weekend away to discover a major infestation of ants.  We declared war and things are mostly under control. 

It only took a short time for us to find the house that was to become our home in San Pedro Sula.  We were looking for a home in a safe neighborhood, close to a small grocery, and Kesia had hoped that we could find one close to an ice cream store (one of the first words she learned in Spanish was helados, or ice cream.)

We live in the neighborhood called Jardines de Valle, or Garden of the Valley, across the street from two supermercados, and down the street from both a panaderia (bakery) and a Kobs ice cream stand!  We have a balcony off our bedroom and a view of the mountains from our backyard.

Buying furniture was an interesting expereince, as prices seemed to be very fluid, rising ever upward as we made decisions about what we wanted.  We were also intrigued to discover that when you buy appliances it doesn't include the cost of hoses and electrical cords.  We were grateful to meet young Nehemias and his friend Naun at our church who helped us hook everything up
