Today we woke up in our nice hotel in Tegucigalpa and went down to a delicious breakfast. The breakfast was like ever other breakfast: bread, eggs, beans, cheese; but, the bread at this hotel was incredible! After breakfast, our friend/ taxi driver took us to a famous park in Tegucigalpa famous for the view and see "El Cristo del Picacho." After taking many pictures of the masterpiece, we contuned through the park and took pictures in a house of mirrors.
After our experience in the park, we drove to the church which held "El Virgin de Suyapa." Suyapa has sentimentality in our family because 15 years ago my mom was on a trip in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. She had gone to the same church that we visited today and prayed to be pregnant. The next day, her doctor called her, and brought her glorious news that she was pregnant. She almost thought of making my middle name Suyapa, but she didn't, thank God.
After our visit with Suyapa we bought some souvenirs, water, and platanos! The platanos were legendary. With snacks in hand, we drove through el centro and stopped at a pupuseria for lunch... When I say this I am not exagerating: these pupusas were the best pupusas I have ever tasted, EVER. After our lunch we drove to a swiss bakery to buy sweets and then took them back to the hotel.We relaxed in the hotel and I enjoyed reading my book until it was time for dinner. We decided to go to this very nice Italian restaurant down the block. The food was incredible, however the portion sizes were enormous; my pasta could feed 7 people! We went home extremely full and satisfied
