Last night´s welcoming ceremony was really lovely, we were made to feel very welcome and met a lot of the commissioners of the Guias de Honduras. Some of the local Brownies did a dance for us, including to Poker Face, our team song! We were given gifts and the Honduran scarf and chatted a lot to the leaders there. The local newspaper took our photo, as did a lot of keen Brownies, before we went for dinner with the commissioners.
This morning we visited the Headquarters de Guias de Honduras, and had a look around their centre. There were lots of gifts from the previous GOLD projects there which was great, as well as a giant Rainbow Pinata! After deciding what resources we still needed to buy here we went to buy glue and card in the supermarket, driven by Hugo (pronounced Ooooooooogo!) our driver, who knew Emma from her 2008 trip.
In the afternoon we took a very windy and bumpy ride up to the national park, which is high up in a protected area of Tegucigalpa. We had a picnic and took a stroll up to the Mayan ruins before visiting the animal reserve, where they have captive native animals such as tapirs, leopards, monkeys and lots of crocodiles. After returning back to the hotel, we had a typical Honduran dinner with Marisol before sitting down and preparing for our first workshop tomorrow! We´ll be leaving at 6.30 tomorrow for a drive to Copan, where our workshop is, and will probably only be able to update the blog on Monday when we return back to Tegucigalpa. We´re all very very excited to see how our workshops pan out! :) Adios for a wee while ...
