You see lots of these horses and carts on the street. Usually they are selling bananas but they also hire out for moving or delivering things. Notice the driver has a cell phone. Wherever you go in La Ceiba, you will see mountains in the background.
I was too slow getting the camera, but there was a herd of cattle crossing the street in front of us. This is one of the main roads to town from our house. In smaller towns, you often see pigs and chickens in the street. El Jefe's brother hit and killed a cow while driving on the highway one night. The meat was greatly appreciated by the residents of the nearby colonia.
This was taken at a graduation party. I love this picture. It always makes me smile.
Welcome to my Blogicito — spanglish for 'little blog'. I am a US expatriate who has been living here in La Ceiba, Honduras, with my Catracho husband since 2001 and blogging about Honduras and my expatriate life since 2006.
The Blogicito includes a wide variety of topics from everyday life to cultural differences to Honduran politics and corruption. One way to find what you are looking for is to browse the 'Topics' list or the monthly lists of articles under 'La Gringa's archives' below. Looking for something more specific? Use the search box at the upper left (for complete articles) or the Google blog search below (for a list of summaries — usually more manageable).
Like most bloggers, reader feedback helps to inspire me. I enjoy reading your comments.
