This weekend was spent in the mountain cornfields, of Northern Orocuina, visiting the family of my godson´s father. The trip was long overdue and a great escape to the overwhelming heat that has recently hit Orocuina. The visit was also perfectly timed for the beginning of the corn harvest... which meant, you guessed it: lots of corn!!
Tamalitos (boiled, sweet corn dough), cooked corn, and grilled corn were all on the menu for the carbo-loaded weekend, and if we didn´t get enough corn during our weekend visit, we were each sent a 10 lb bag of corn goodies to take home with us!! (And people wonder how us volunteers gain weight... :) )

Today, we left the house at 2:30am to catch the 4:00am bus and head to work!! It was a nice, relaxing weekend away and a great way to spend time with Honduran family! Enjoy the rest of the pics! :)
The bus seats cleared out and only the true cowboys remained as we made our way up the mountain!
