We travelled from Roatan to Rio Esteban, a village on the mainland to visit Lisette's family and hold service there.  This minivan picked us up at the boat dock.  We crowded 11 passengers into the van.

The van began sputtering and died on a bridge.  It had run out of gas.  The driver coasted across the bridge, jumped out and caught ride, leaving us in the van.  He was back shortly with gas in a gallon jug.

We planned for him to take us to visit a prison, but the van developed engine problems and would not take us up a small incline.  He got another van and we were off to the prison.

The bus station in La Ceiba is surrounded by small shops.  The girls took advantage of the lay over to enjoy some shopping.  The bus was hot and became crowded to the point people were standing in the aisle.

 

A store was under construction by the roadside between La Ceiba and Rio Esteban.  The woman is sawing the board by hand.

Country life is simple.  A wood fire in a clay oven warms the beans.  Chickens and pigs roam the yard.  Bananas and plantains are harvested with machetes.
