The Castle of Copan


We went to Copan Ruinas, Honduras last week and my old co-worker Blair hooked it up big time! We got to stay in this little castle. It was pretty magical.


You know how I like my feet in pictures...


The view was quite spectacular.


Me viewing you viewing the view.


We also went to Mayatan to see my enormous students (they were in second grade, now they are in sixth!). I didn't get many pictures, but I did capture two smiles from Ezra playing on the playground equiptment.


He can smile!


I did bring some toys but the matchbox and cheese grater proved more interesting.


One bad thing about our trip was the the majority of the time we were there the power was out. I forgot how common this is in Copan. At least we had some candles in the castle!


When we returned to Chiqui Ezra certainly missed the kittens. I love how grouchy he looks with a lapfull of adorable kitties.


On Sunday Cristian and Ezra were cutting branches from the mango tree so that Jumproap (the parrot) can't escape. When we were in Copan he took a little jaunt over the neighbor's house and it caused quite the ruckus. Ezra liked helping out and being on the roof.


We took the kite up the mountain again and although there still wasn't very much wind it did fly! Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of it flying because I was the one who was flying it. I was the champion kite flyer!


These guys did not get the kite flying.


When it came down from flying it landed in a puddle and was deemed unflyable so they dismantled it. You can see Oso the dog resting on the pipe with a necklace of kite string.


Two pictures of me in one post!? I get sick of trying to take pictures of Ezra and Cristian because guess what, NEITHER of them like having their picture taken. Ugh.


The kite wasn't the only thing that got wet. Ezra's pants were soaked so for the hike down he was sin pantelones.


Random photo from when we went out to McDonalds.


Ezra at the mall, where we can spend hours and hours and hours and hours if you can imagine.
