don't go chasin' waterfalls...

OK, so that was a popular song from a little group named TLC when i was in junior high. (generation gap for anyone reading this?) But it wasn't pointless, cuz we went to an A-MAZING waterfall today!! It was absolutely epic. Check out allie's facebook for pics. We got a guide to take us down to the waterfall and we went behind it; well, sort of, there wasn't much space. once you got down there, you really couldn't see anything, there was so much water rushing down and getting all over your face. But there was a little cave behind the waterfall that we crawled up in. It made me wonder how many tribadours have spent a night in there over the past few millenia. When that was done, we went to a restaurant for fish: the deep fry the entire fish, they dont filet anything. It was really good though! You just gotta pick out the bones. A lot of people make a mistake by just cutting filets cuz there's more meat in a fish than you'd think. Other than that, we came back and took a siesta and then michelle made dinner.

So the coffee farm we went to yesterday: we ground some of those beans! Guys, i make no jokes about this and i consider myself to be quite the connoisseur of coffee: it was the BEST coffee I've ever drank. The coffee was roasted yesterday, and then we ground it and put it through a French press. It can't get any better than that!! With the powers combined of Honduran soil, the hands of Menanite farmers, and French ingenuity, Matt Ruzicka drank some grade-A coffee that is unparralleled by any other event in his life. Birth, my first kiss, college graduation, even the waterfall are all secondary episodes compared to that cup of Joe; rather, la copa de Jose.

To finish the night off, we went to a Honduran circus which was only a two minute walk from the seminary. That was interesting to say the least. It was only $2 American for admission. There were some acrobatics and silly clowns that beat each other up. One kid juggled fire. We loved it though, it was a great way to finish the first few days. We're heading to Tegucigalpa tomorrow where we start our first weekly project, so pray for us! We've loved getting to know the country and people and culture the past few days. I've really appreciated how they take the first few days to transition us into the culture. The work will be hard but fun also. Love you guys.
