What were we thinking ?

If you asked me 10, no, 5 years ago, what I would be doing, I would say I am thinking about a place to retire, it is coming up you know. So now I say to myself, alot of people retire "South of the Boarder". When the invitation came up to teach English at a new private school, in Pena Blanca, Honduras, we rolled it around in thought. (my wife and I). And so now a year and a half later,here we are. We sold our house, truck, and what we could not sell we gave away. All we own is what we got here, in our lil' cabana on a strip of orchard, in the middle of rain forest and coffee crops. We are no more than 2 kilometers from the Great Lake Yojoa. If you come from the Southwestern part of the states, where many parts are arid and dry, one finds the "green" of the rain forest over whelming. The food is much more healthier here, it seems less processed by far. It even seems food cooks alot quicker too.
The amazing amount of beautiful birds certainly catches the eye and curiosity, my favorite are the Toucans, that live in a very tall tree in our front yard. The call of the night birds are erie yet somewhat soothing as they stand watch in night time rain forest.
