One highlight of Nick's trip was crossing the river in a hand-cart that dangles over a huge rocky gorge.
In order to cross you need to purchase something from the co-op across, which sells different tapestries, blankets, etc. which are handmade by women in the area. We bought 2 lovely potholders with birds embroidered on them.
Waterfalls, suntans, enjoying the breeze...quite different than wintry Michigan this time of year!
Nick's friend (Sandy's brother), Victor, who took him for a bike ride in the mountains his first day here. Apparently the bikes broke about a mile or two outside the village so they had to walk them back before they went out again. 
It was cool that he got to spend some time with someone from the village and also experience Honduran life from a local's perspective. Victor was quick to offer Nick some coconut water from his yard and I think Nick was a bit jealous of his tree-climbing and machete skills.
