It's as good as it gets. Even though Honduras is poor, Julia and her husband saved to buy land in the country just outside Copan. They built their lovely home and then planted trees and flowers. Birds sing and the rooster crows.

To get to the house from town is a 15 minute walk on a rutted path -- by taxi, a tooth shattering 20 minutes because there's a river in the way.
So Julia, master of problem solving, decided to gather forces and money to build two bridges. One is completed and all the materials are purchased for the second -- with no government assistance. A group of women fund raised for the project and a number of men volunteered their time for the construction.
This is Julia on the path leading to the site of the second bridge. It's a mind boggling project.

Tomorrow is Good Friday. Artisans create colourful designs on the streets. I hope I can catch some for you.
