Gussy, checking out the baahs at Carrion department store.
He was overwhelmed. Such selection!

Our trusty guide, Jorge, coming to fetch us for the tour
There was a manatee nearby!

We explored the village/campus while waiting for the wee train to come fetch us.
Wooden dugout boats
I love this picture. My Honduran kid, shirtless and sucking a water bag.

Good party trick.

The little train is back!
This time with soldiers
Weird warpy action
School kids hitched a ride home and some raced the train
The woman in the picture is the teacher who commutes to work on the little train.

You can also see JA and Gussy in the conductor's car.
Joel, the 18 year-old soldier. This is Bine's "I don't want to pose with the soldier" face.

On the chicken bus back to La Ceiba
JA took us to the new kiddy amusement park
We ate lunch at a seafood restaurant. The entire staff was sitting in the waiting area and watching telenovelas, which may explain the quality of the food.

The nice park next to the grocery store.
Pretty much the only place in Ceiba for kids to run around.
