MyShadowProductions #70 - Honduras/Loma de Luz Days 15, 16 & 17

Hola everyone.

It rained very hard just before sunset on Wednesday. This is a photo off of the balcony of my room showing the water shooting off the roof. Wondering how they knew how far from the roof the water would shoot? The photo doesn’t show how heavy the rain was. Since that downpour which lasted a couple of hours the rains have been very sparse.

I thought I would share some photos around the Hospital itself. In the last couple of days while working near the shop, I have heard a few newborn babies crying (they were born in the Hospital, not the shop) :)

Coming uphill from the gate this grey wall will be painted white and will have signage. The main entrance to the Hospital is to the right and Emergency is to the left. 

8 Casitas where people who live far from the hospital can stay if they need continuing outpatient follow-up.

The infamous storage container with shelves by Mario and Kim. It will be painted and the doors replaced with a roll up door.

They hand mix the concrete and pour the pavers on site in a form that makes 6 separate pavers.

                         Now, some food photos:

Jugo de Piña (pineapple juice) and chunks of watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple.

Menu for La Parilla the restaurant by the gate: I added the currency conversion note. They don’t have all the items every day, it varies. Same owner as the Cafeteria at the Hospital (where I get most of my food).

Someone brought a huge bag of naranjas (oranges) in the morning for everyone to grab a few.

I like this, Aloe Vera water with grape pulps, very tasty and not a tremendous amount of sugar.

Hamburquesa with papas fritas. Yes, that is an egg and the meat is thin and well done/charred. Pistachio ice cream with almond bits.

One of the naranjas sliced, fresh and tasty but not overly special.

Strawberry ice cream.

Corn tortillas, rice, chicken and vegetables.

Corn tortillas, rice, pork chop and vegetables.

The drink is mixed juice of carrots and oranges.

We finished the shelves in the container (I haven’t taken a finished photo yet) and have started on some new shelves in the shop. The old arrangement has been demoed (including the green workbench) and we have made some of the shelf “ladders” but we are waiting on plywood to cover the wall before we can finish the shelves:

Today I got to work on a 1” water line re-route which was fun!

On Thursday I had lunch at Dave and Teresa’s house, this is the view from their back porch:

Have a great weekend!
