Yeah, yeah spoke spanish a good portion of the time, yet there was another hybrid island language spoken too. I never got the hang of that, but it's beautiful. The white facepaint you speak of is actually sand. He dipped his black face in the sand and got such a great reaction to us I think he'll keep doing it for years now. I believe it was a combo of imitating us and just playing :-) Thanks Kev. Yeah, yeah spoke spanish a good portion of the time, yet there was another hybrid island language spoken too.

I assume spanish is the native language? What was the meaning of the white face paint on the little boy? Just playing? Or imitating his new white friends? Or Sunblock? Great post Lark.

They use rain cachement systems off metal roofs stored in plastic cisterns. Here is a picture my brother took showing one of the cisterns, a metal roof, and one of the gutters used to collect the water. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/LarkinBC/HondurasFullMontanaPics#5301787172448658210" rel="nofollow">Cistern pic</a> and another one showing one of the basic systems with a <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/LarkinBC/HondurasFullMontanaPics#5301787258154644498" rel="nofollow">plastic berrel </a> Drinking water: Yes, this is one of the things I was curious about as well.
