En la casa Denise

So, Sully got his wish to have a good cook for a host mom.  Denise is wonderful.  She is very curious about where we live, what we eat, what we do for fun and everything in between.  Her Spanish is pretty easy to understand so we are getting lots of practice.  We had a tour of the city today with our professors including the coast, the market and Mazapan, the area that Dole has in the city. It's like it's own city. There was a little park showing all of Dole's good deeds in the city. Apparently, most of their operations are based in Southern Honduras and Costa Rica. We also learned that Hondurans get to eat the rejected bananas. All the small, best tasting bananas don't pass the test. They are really good. 
This afternoon we went to a daycare center for single moms. Laura had a whole lesson planned with the Very Hungry Caterpillar. It didn't go as planned, but we had fun and ended up on the playground playing soccer and swinging. We're going back each afternoon this week to help out. The kids are really cute.


Here are the kids at Swinford Park, the Dole Park.

I loved this advertisement. Who wants an Angry Whopper?
