Last week my brother, Nick, came down for a visit -- his first time outside of North America. It was great having him around and we had lots of fun exploring and spending time together. Here he is with some of his new friends: Isis, Norely, Belen, Saudito, Fernandito and Claudia.
As his more experienced (less gringo) sister, I was able to show him a few Honduran tricks of the trade, for example, how to eat an orange Honduran-style, and how to kill scorpions (actually Claire nailed the one pictured). 
Actually, most of Nick's free time here was spent helping us interns clean out the dorm for the upcoming influx of teams (currently there's a 2-month team of HS kids from Canada). We scraped cement, scrubbed, vacuumed, and mopped floors, painted, moved bunk beds, made the beds, etc. and Nick won "Best Scrapper" award by scrapping off a chunk of the dining room floor in his attempt to get off a paint splatter.
It was Nick's goal while he was here to find a tarantula and a scorpion, so he was 1 for 2. We seem to be having an increase of scorpions in our house in the past month, and I think the count is now up to 7. Fortunately so far the sting count is 0.
