Day 14 - Nov 28 REST DAY

We had a much needed rest day in Valle de Angeles just outside of Tegucigalpa.  It was a very restful day with just a bit of work on the bike.  I had to let it know I care or else it will not take care of me.  :)

After a bit of sweat and tender loving care I tucked the bike away for its needed rest.  Then I headed up to the town.  It was the cutest town complete with a town square and musica being played in the square.  Pretty neat!!!  I ate lunch in a little restaurante where the menu was in Spanish and the waitress spoke nothing but Spanish.  It was a pleasure ordering.  When I would ask a question with all sorts of signs and gestures, she would explain it again in Spanish but this time with a little more emphasis.  She was the cutest thing.  She would smile and I would smile and I was going to get a surprise!  It was kind of fun.  For some strange way and reason she would come back and talk to me in Spanish and I would talk to her in English and we would both just laugh, neither really understanding the other but kind of communicating.  Makes for an interesting experience non the less.  

It has been the nicest of rest days with no hurry, no hassle and above all a siesta!


The street leading into the town.

Shops and restaurants line the streets.

The town square with a fountain and band stand.

Me......

Cerveza stop after five days of hard riding.

The little restaurant with a serene tropical setting.

This is where I am at.

Two weeks down and three to go!  It is going by so fast.
