electricity!!

So, yesterday we came to one of the bigger cities on the coast, called La Ceiba. We came because our bosses had some stuff to do, and also because we wanted to buy some things. So here we are. We stayed in a hotel last night that had ELECTRICITY!! Wow. And even a tv (which we didn´t watch!). We had a shower and there was hot water! (okay, it´s not really hot water, what they do is attach this thing to the shower head that is commonly known as a ´widow-maker´ because it heats the water as it comes through the spout, but it is run on electricity, so sometimes it shorts out and gives the person standing in the water a shock!!)
We´re about to go back to the land of stray chickens, pigs, dogs, kitties, and horses. Did I tell you that the other day I walked out of the house to wash the dishes, and there were three horses eating grass in my yard! It is truly the strangest place I´ve ever been.
Also, I went to this woman´s house, and she showed me how she makes bread. Well, buns actually. And she doesn´t have a stove, so what she did was to use this thing that looked like a sawed-off oil drum. She puts this on the ground, and then on top of it, she puts this piece of tin, like what they use for their roofs. She proceeds to light a fire on TOP of the piece of tin, and when it is hot, she PICKS UP THE FIRE with her hands, like picks up the piece of tin, moves it, puts the little buns inside, puts the fire back on top, and waits for the buns to cook! And since the buns cook at different rates, she did this like FIVE TIMES!! The women in Ciriboya are tough. I could learn a lot!
Anyway, no pictures yet, but I promise some soon. I went swimming in the ocean the other morning, and it was GLORIOUS!! God´s creation is pretty darn amazing.
