We are in Tela!
We left Copan at about 9am and arrived in Progresso at about noon. We all ate at Wendy's (Burgers! Fries!) and then went to a big sovenior shop. After that we headed off to Tela and arrived at about 4pm. The kids unpacked and immediately went out to the beach and swam in the Carribean Seal, body surfing on the sweet waves. It was a great treat after spending so long on the bus! After that it was swimming in the bool, playing volleyball in the pool, hitting the waterslide, eating spaghetti (made by Annie's parents), playing cards, swimming contests like treading water the longest (Sarah Vander Giessen pwn'd all of us), eating the leftover spaghetti, playing cards, watching movies, and it ended with us visiting a karaoke place (all in Spanish) .... then they turned on the dance music and we all went on the dance floor and danced like a bunch of white people! Then off to bed...
Today (Sunday) we all slept it (FINALLY), and then more of the same. More waves, more swimming, some naps, more eating. Sarah Vander Giessen was proposed to by an Honduran guy. You know, stuff like that.
Tomorrow we head back. This will likely be our last blog post, unless we can catch some wireless at an airport.
It's been an amazing trip, the kids are tired but are getting more refreshed. Can't want to come home!

Thank Gregg for the update!
"May the road rise to meet you:
May the wind be always at your back, the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand" (An old Irish blessing)
After Rick (you want to know how well you are doing, ask your father-in-law!) say his farewell message, the EPIC can sing "Break Forth Into Joy" ;)
God bless you all.

When Rick first talked to me about this trip many many months ago, I must admit I has some concerns. I am so glad it has gone so well. Praise God

...and Vietnamese blessing: "Thuong Lo Binh An" means "On your way with peace"
