Honduras: Day 3

Perdidos

The sky was clear and the sun came in a flash, just as it had left the day before. The first order of business was food shopping. The order before that was to find the super market; Easier said than done. There is only one main road on the island but we missed the supermarket on several passes. "Un consultir por favor" was the order of the day as we asked for directions to the mythical market.

It was just as hectic as I imagined it would be with people from 3 different households. Four thousand limpera and a full shopping cart later we were back to the house. This particular trip required big guns so I ran back for the golf cart. I knew how to go forward but not reverse. I required help to figure out how to change gears. Once I got moving it felt just like my prius.

The security guard informed us that a fisherman would be coming in about an hour. That was 11am. Everyone failed to consider CPT. It was after 1 when we headed out to find some local produce and fish. We were roped in by the "only one road" mantra, it took us 3 hours to find the way.

We were richly rewarded once we arrived. At night we dined like kings: roasted red snapper, brazillian rice, fried plantains.
