Chocolate, Chocolate and More Chocolate!

Hello All---
Today we went on a tour of a chocolate tour that was very interesting.  The chocolate was more gritty than Hershey's.  They showed us all how the machines worked and how they packaged them and how they shelled the cocoa beans---all in Spanish and of course we went to school. 
Tomorrow we are off to Managua to do shopping and to buy bus tickets to CR.  Then we are going to visit the island of Ometepe the next day.  Things are going to be busy....we still have school tomorrow in the AM and then a bus to Managua.
Rose is looking forward to seeing Jasmine....(and everyone else!).  Me too.
Talk to you later,
Michele & Rose

Honduras Electric Company

Thought I'd share this for all the electricians around.  This is the wiring throughout the capital city of Tegucigalpa Honduras.  About every 1/2 block or so there was one of these, sometimes right off next to someone's balcony.  I'm thinking the residents just string up lines themselves and take it for free, either that or they just have terrible planning.  Wow!!

Rose has found Heaven (or her version of it!)

Hello All--
We are staying at a hostel called La Buena Onda in Matagalpa, Nicaragua.  Rose is loving it because she found $7 Hollister and Abercrombie T-shirts!! They also have a pet rabbit at our new place and that sealed the deal.  Don't tell Jasmine that Rose is cheating on her.  She has been feeding it Ritz crackers all day and petting it.  We enrolled in school and are starting tomorrow at 8am.  Today we shopped til we dropped.

Hello Everyone,


We are on the move again. Today we got up and went to see a dolphin show and then packed your bags to get on the ferry (not so much vomit this time but we had better spots on the boat but the lady behind me puked any way :( nasty!!! ) The we rode on a bus for 2 1/2 hr Central America time, So it actually took 5 hr. Now we are in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.

Tomorrow we are getting up at 4 and getting on the tica bus for hopefully 12 hr (not 14 like last time) to get to Matagalpa, Nicaragua.
