El Lago Yojoa

Weekend adventure
Over the weekend, Lena and I went with our friend Alex to El Lago Yojoa to have adventures. These included jumping off small cliffs into water, climbing into a cave behind a waterfall with the water going in front of us. So schöen.
We stayed Saturday night at D and D brewery, a hostal/brewery run by a cool American guy who looks like the dad from Orange County Choppers. He was a brewmeister, an amateur archaeologist (found lots of Lenca artifacts while digging for pools and septic tanks), and a slide guitar player.
On Sunday we found a nice older gentleman in town who rented us a rowboat for the day and we went out on the Lago de Yojoa and then hiked through the Parque Ecológico. It was amazingly beautiful. I will revisit this place in my dreams for years. And only in my dreams, since I ran out of batteries and was only able to take mental photos. We hadn´t brought much money, and there were no banks out there, so we ended up stretching it out and being tacaño and arriving back in San Pedro with just enough money to arrive home with about 10 lempiras left between the 2 of us (Alex had run out of money on Saturday and we lended her money to get back to SPS).

Copprome Update
This week we´re starting up the computer classes with Patty and Luis from Diginet as the main instructors. I´m working on a pending ¨wish list¨ for donations for school supplies for Copprome. Those interested in donating school supplies or computer equipment, contact me or SHH.
Our administrative work is ongoing as we continue to get things ready for January. The high school girls are getting together their talent show acts and have requested a fairly specific remix for their dance routine. DJ Cosmo will make it on her compy.
And now that classes and exams are over, and recuperations are nearly over, Christmas preparations are beginning (there are Christmas lights up in some houses already, what with there being no Thanksgiving buffer zone for decorations).

I am to teach the kids a Christmas song in English. Any suggestions? They already know Jingle Bells. And no one here knows or cares what Chanukah is.

Oh man, a mosquito just bit me on the forehead and I can´t see it but it feels like a golfball.
