Valley Of Angels

Often, when we have groups or guests, we take them to Valley of Angels. Valley of Angels is a small town not far from Tegucigalpa. There are little shops in which to buy souvenirs. It attracts many and Americans and Hondurans alike. The drive out to Valley of Angels is a beautiful one. It is always a pleasant day when we go to Valley of Angels.

This past week, Siomara's oldest two girls, Erica and Joselyn had birthdays. We decided we would take these girls with us to Valley of Angels. After church, we headed to Tegucigalpa to eat at Carnitas before going to Valley of Angels. Erica and Joselyn ordered plates. When they saw how much food was on each plate, their eyes were huge. They ate all they could hold and then packed up the leftovers. That is probably what they had for supper as well. And probably shared with Linda and Siomara, too.

Then we drove to Valley of Angels. Since this was a birthday present to Erica and Joselyn, Marc gave each girl 100 lempira to spend. This is approximately five dollars, but is a lot of money to these two girls. They walked off to do their shopping. They were not gone long when they returned wearing smiles and brand new sunglasses.

Marc and I were sitting at Espresso Americana and they joined us. Marc bought a granita de cafe for each of them. They slowly sipped on theirs and made them last as long as possible.

Erica and Joselyn had a great day. While we might go to Valley of Angels often, this was a special treat for them.
