After a wonderful holy week at the farm in Trujillo, Nils,
the teens, and I headed back to La Ceiba early Easter Sunday morning. Upon arrival to our apartments we realized we
had little food and also had rats while away.
Not a tasty combination. As all
were still tired from the vigil the night before, and no one wanted to go
grocery shopping or cook, Nils and I came up with a different solution. We decided to buy Wendy’s for the teens and
ourselves, as everywhere else in the City was closed.
So we walked down the empty, better put desolate and littered,
street and ordered food and frosties for all (vanilla for Nelly of course, as
she hates chocolate). They sat in a
booth and watched the slightly ridiculous music videos on the television; while
Nils and I simply smiled, this is an Easter brunch we would never forget.
That night we went to mass in the cathedral. Then with newly filled cabinets we made a
yummy dinner with a typical chicken and rice Honduran dish. Afterwards we enjoyed yummy Easter treats
from multiple care packages we had received from family, friends, and former
volunteers.
While this second half of
the day proved much more conventional, I will always remember the dusty bus
ride and Wendy’s brunch, and how both were beautiful in their own ways.
