Felices Fiestas!

Clarification: Peace Corps Honduras has not shut down like the New York Times article made it sound.  They are going to send all volunteers home in January on administrative leave while they figure out what to do next.  Still nothing decided about El Salvador and Guatemala.

The beach today was great and we had perfect weather.  Not that it is ever not perfect weather at the beaches here.  The cookie party last night at my house was also a huge success!  I will add that I made all the cookies in a toaster oven, 4 at a time, because my real oven doesn't work.  Here is a sampling from our sugar feast:

Here we have oreo rice kispie treats (made with oreos instead of rice krispies--no bake!) and peanut butter Hershey kiss cookies.
From left to right: melted snowmen sugar cookies, peanut butter and jelly cookies, more kisses, some sugar cookie candy canes, and peanut butter pretzel reindeer.
The cookie decorating station.

And...here is a snippet of the beach trip with my coworkers.  I think they might have had more fun on the bus ride there than at the beach!!!  Also interesting to note that Salvadorans have many great qualities and talents but clapping in unison is NOT one of them.  Enjoy and happy holidays!
