Day 20 - An end to GOLD Honduras

Today we visited the Vally of Angels, where we had a chance to be last-minute tourists, before heading back for our evaluation with the Guias de Honduras. We had a great opportunity to evaluate all 5 years of the GOLD project in Honduras, as well as getting some feedback on this year´s work. Afterwards, we went to dinner in a typical Honduran restaurant for our farewell meal with lots of members of the Association.
In true Honduran style, the heavens opened and it threw it down with rain, so much so that the power went out. We looked extremely stylish with headtorches to the forehead, as we gave our gifts, including a 5 year photobook from all the GOLD projects. The Guias de Honduras gave us a lovely gift of a bag each, and we handed everyone out our Sexambassadors badges and cards that we didn´t get a chance to use. It turns out that one of the translations on the ABC messages we had translated to something INCREDIBLY rude, and we all had a good laugh and hoped they wouldn´t forget it. After lots of hugs and sad goodbyes, singing Old Langs Eyne (?) and doing our favourite ´aplauso´for the last time, we shouted ADIOS (still in the dark) to our friends here, and waved goodbye to an amazing and unforgettable experience.
Tomorrow we leave Tegucigalpa; Hannah, Carrie and Nicola for London; Nic and Emma for Roatan in the Bay Islands. To everyone who has been involved in this GOLD project, both at home and here in Honduras, we want to thank you so so much for making this trip incredible. We have made friendships that will always last, and experienced things here that we will never ever forget. After 2 years of planning, and 3 weeks of some truly GOLDen moments, we say goodbye to a country that we all can now call home.
We came to Honduras with 980 condoms, lots of Wasabi peas and much dyrolyte, and came back with so much more than we could ever have hoped for. ¡Muchas Gracias Honduras, we will miss you dearly!
