Coffee anyone?

Today was a lot of fun!! It went by really fast in spite of a full day! We started off at 8 with breakfast at the Fittz's: banana bread, hash browns, and bacon. Afterwards, Amy and I went with Michelle to the grocery store for some essentials (lots of produce!). You guys will love that most of the fruits and veggies were under a dollar per pound!! I'm talking bananas, papayas, apples, oranges, cabbage, avocados, tomatos, onions, etc etc. Michelle told us that most of what we purchased was grown locally - can't beat that!! Then it was back to the seminary...

Oh yes, did I mention we're staying at a seminary? This is where Mark and Michelle and their two kids, Micah and Ariana, call home. It's in Siguatepeque and called Sebcah (which I believe is an acronym that I can't remember). It's such a beautiful place with flowers and mango trees everywhere!! Until Sunday, we're staying in the dorms. There is clean, running water here, which is nice! Also, as is obvious, Mark has internet in his home. There are a total of 5 professors and about 15 students. They also have an extension program, so Bible students can be taught in other cities such as San Pedro Sula.

Anyway, back to our day. We went to downtown Siguat to experience the market. Matt and I got some Honduras soccer jerseys, and had a lot of fun. Stopped at the mall for some coffee at Espresso Americano. And then back for lunch which was great! We had baleados, totillas with bean paste in them; homemade plantain chips; delicious homemade salsa with a great lime taste to it; and avocados and sour cream. Yum!!! Then siesta for an hour or so.

From there, we went to the Menonite farm where Mark gets the coffee for fundraising from. We got to watch some beans being roasted, and even taste the before and after. Surprisingly, beans before being roasted don't have much of a flavor at all. We also bought some homemade ice cream from the family. Took 150 lbs of coffee back to Marks.

Now on to dinner. We had a homemade version of the taco I took pictures of previously. Absolutely delish! Coffee and cookies for dessert. And we're caught up for today. Can't wait for tomorrow!!

Goodnight Senders!! We love you all so much!

Ps. If anyone is interested in purchasing Mark's coffee to support his ministry here, let me know. It's $10/lb and I can bring it back for you. And on that note, can you guys sign your name to your comments por favor. A lot of them I don't know who they're from... Thanks!!
