July 20th is Indian Day in Honduras, so all of the students dress up and and celebrate.
Our moms worked many hours to make the outfits of our little Indians. The boys had their skirt thing, bow and arrow and feathers, while the girls got to wear make-up earrings, dresses, glitter and crowns.
Once all of our kids were ready to go, we went up to the school where everyone was getting ready for a parade. The kids walked through the whole community, each one dressed like an Indian. They sang and shouted "Long live the Indians!".
At the end of the parade, the students voted for the boy and girl that were the best dressed, and had some Indian features. Three of our kids were chosen, in first place, Jose and Juvana won and Carlitos was in third place. (First place on the left)
We were able to have a beach day when a group came, but this time it was a little different. We went to Trujillo which is about a 6 hour bus ride from where we live. It is a town on the coast and a historical landmark from back when the Spanish conquered Honduras. We had a fun day together swimming, eating and riding on the bus.
