The Lost Boy - San Pedro Sula
The little boy selling chips on the bus. They get on at one end of town and ride the bus to the other end of town, and then wait at the other end for a bus going the other way.
This is the little 7 year old from San Pedro Sula. He sells water in the park all day because his father is in jail and he has to help feed his little brothers and sisters. If there was one kid I could have brought home...
This little guy in Copan was about Ciaran's age - and about his size too. The sack he is carrying is filled with cabbages for his family to sell at their little vegetable spot at the side of the city street. The bag would be way to heavy for me to lift. And I thought Ciaran was strong...
This little guy helps his mom sell jewelery. He plays all daydfa at the side of the road.

We miss you guys so much, and look forward to your homecoming.
Hope you received my Mother's Day card.
Greg told me about the cheap clothes. I would love a Honduran skirt, or whatever is indigenous to the country, about size 10 waist 26'' and I am 5'5''
Greg and I hadd a lovely Mother's Day but I know he was really missing you.
Finally got my google account to work.
Much Love,
Val/Gram
but good company..
and THIS time I went in there with some stipulations..
a week off in August to take Iain to NFLD..(fly) and A MONTH OFF in JANUARY to go to PERU...
