Where Does the Time Go?

It's a gorgeous, sunny day here in La Ceiba and I've just spent the last 6 hours cruising the blogs that I like to follow, admittedly with time out for a meal and numerous trips to the fridge for cold lime water!

Please, if you’re here right now drifting through my scribbles, make the effort and check out my own “Blog List” posted under my archives. There are blogs from La Ceiba, the Bay Island of Guanaja, San Pedro Sula and Trujillo just to give a taste from around this country of Honduras. Some folks are Honduran by birth, some are Americans retired here, some are expats and married to Hondurans and all have notes of interest if you’re curious about our lives here.

In my personal opinion (and many others’ opinion as well!) the best one for coverage of Honduran life and politics is La Gringa’s Blogicito with great research, media links and solid writing skills. Normally, La Gringa writes about her daily life in La Ceiba, dealing with home construction (and inadvertent destruction like when the floor tiles erupted!) gardening and other facets of an ordinary life. But she has been the absolute power house when it has come to reporting, researching and relaying hard fact about the political crisis that took place here in the past year, much to the chagrin of main stream media. (I hope!)

So, in the midst of your northern winter time and overwhelming "Owe" Olympics “will we have snow” nonsense, stop and take a time out with those of us here, in Honduras. We do welcome new friends and visitors!
